[wassa]

As Header says does anyone know how to do this?

:help:

[Evil Badoshix]

are you using outlook? just go to File > Import/Export - then save your archive to disk.

You can then load this onto your new system using the same function

[mcallisterian]

yeah outlook make sure you save it as a pst file and save everything within yer personal folder...

I must be doing something wrong here can anyone give me step by step instructions as i keep getting error messages about MAPI whatever that is:(

Go here http://www.genie-soft.com/ and download Genie Backup manager, it`s excellent

it says 15 day trial if you uninstall and reinstall after 15 days will this work again?

[brainwaster]

If you backup your email with it and then format your drive your 15 day trial will start again, but then after 15 days it will stop working. For now though it`s a simple and easy way to backup your email and then format.

If you're in XP - you can use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. See here (http://www.iopus.com/guides/free-oe-backup.htm) for details.

(It'll also save Outlook Express account details and other settings as well as a whole load of other system stuff from your PC IIRC)
