ooooooook ... i have been looking around outlook express for a way to back up all my emails for when i move to my new computer i can have them all.

i contacted my cable company who my email address is through and said that the emails are on my hard drive and they can not really help me.

soooooo i went through outlook looking for a way to back them all up or export them so i can import them on my new system and have only been able to do it 1 at a time ....

ill be forever greatful if someone could tell me how to back them all up at 1 time and ill give ya a cookie if i can import them to my new computer in outlook and act like nothing ever happened

thanks for the huuuuuge help in advance ... this thing is driving me insane!!!

If you unhide hidden files and folders and show protected operating system files in Folder Options, then go to C:\Documents and Settings\your user name\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{A34589-D237-439F-B503-AA9B7905361D}\Microsoft\Outlook Express and copy the entire Outlook Express folder including contents. Paste it to the same location on your new installation you'll have all your emails and outlook express folders intact.

oooh my Grav ... you sir are a life saver!!!! thanks a ton!!!
