Re: Outlook Express mail "...winston" <winstonmvp[ at ]gmail.com> 12/30/2008 3:48:50 AM You don't really, if you wish to see the messages.. Outlook stores all folders and messages in a single pst file(accessible by Outlook) for each profile. Additional pst files are also present if Archiving is enabled. Outlook Express stores all folders as separate dbx files(e.g. Inbox.dbx, etc) If you wish to copy messages and retain the email clients ability to open, drag and drop(from the email client's folders to a Windows Explorer folder) -- ...winston ms-mvp mail "Charly charly" <Charly charly[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:62A97082-2B82-4643-8775-87C804C15E49[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Outlook Express mail "Earle Horton" <earleh[ at ]terra.com.invalid> 12/30/2008 4:32:24 AM Outlook 2007 has File, New, Outlook Data File. I assume older versions have this also. This command creates a new .pst file. It "provides storage for items and folders". To access the contents, File, Open, Outlook Data File. One can do manual archiving and backup by this method, copying or moving between open .pst files.

Re: Outlook Express mail "Earle Horton" <earleh[ at ]terra.com.invalid> 12/30/2008 4:19:54 PM No way to tell with the combination of the subject line and the question in the body of the message. I figured I would answer the question as stated, and it might help somebody. You appear to have addressed the question implied in the subject line. The short answer is to move the .dbx file, but then you won't be able to read the messages. ;^) Earle "...winston" <winstonmvp[ at ]gmail.com> wrote in message news:Ofv3A3maJHA.1676[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl...

Re: Outlook Express mail "...winston" <winstonmvp[ at ]gmail.com> 12/30/2008 11:24:50 PM Kind of ..:) I addressed it as a wish to 'copy' not move...the latter could become problematic. -- ...winston ms-mvp mail "Earle Horton" <earleh[ at ]terra.com.invalid> wrote in message news:#o#Q3ppaJHA.5420[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...
