In outlook exress can i back up email messages?

[TimJBart]

Hi,

I want to transfer my emails from one pc to another using outlook express. Can i do this by 'backing up' or 'exporting' the messages then loading them on the second computer?

Thanks

You could also try a Google search for 'outlook express backup wizard'.

if i've saved emails onto a cd and i want to put them back into outlook express, how would i go about doing this? is it possible?

If you've have the dbx files on the cd, copy them onto the pc, and import them into OE as on http://www.iopus.com/guides/oe-backup.htm

Launch OE and from the file menu select 'import'. Does that help ?

i've trid that but it gives me options of programs to import messages from, not from a cd

am i totally wrong about this??

Choose the correct program (OE6 probably) and then on the next screen choose "Import mail from OE6 store directory" then point it to the CD where the .dbx files live.

Sorry, i just kinda assumed that you had an idea what to do, should've been more detailed however you seem to be sorted now.
