How do I back up my emails in Outlook Express?

[bci]

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone could help?

With Win98 I used to just back up the "Application Data" folder to save my emails. I am still using Outlook Express with WinXP .... but

- is there an Application Data folder that I could just back up?
- if not what is the name of the folder where Outlook Express keeps the emails?!

Thanks.

go to
C:\Documents and Settings\{your account name}\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{here are some folders,try it one by one for the next di}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

There are all settings files for Outlook Express. YOur messeges must be in file named Inbox.dbx or *inbox.dbx

Got as far as:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\

But there isn't a folder called Local Settings in Administrator.

A search fo disk C for Application Data returned "there are no results to display"
Same for a search for Local Settings.

Help!

Thanks.
