Outlook Express 6 (import/export)

[tjhilder 0]

Hi,

 

I want to be able to change the location that outlook express saves my messages to, I searched high and low for it but I couldn't find it, anybody know where I can do this?

 

I want to be able to store my data onto my 2nd hard drive (for more protection when having to reinstall windows etc)

 

Regards

TJ

This is one way:

1. Open OE and go to Tools>Optins>Maintenance. Click on the "Store Folder" button to see where your messages are stored. Close OE6.

2. Go to Windows Explorer and rename that folder (e.g. Outlook Express-Old)

3. Reopen Outlook Express. Go to Tools>Optins>Maintenance again and click on "Store Folder". Then change the location where you want your messages to be stored.

4. Go to File>Import>Messages and locate the Outlook Express-Old folder to import your messages.

5. Restart Outlook Express. It should work.
