Have you gone to File->Import and Export??
go here and export all you mails, then you can later import them if you wish. The files cannot be read as they contain multiple emails. Jay~

Yeah, I've tried it all- But export only gives the option to export to Microsoft Outlook or Exchange- and then I can't find them anywhere from there. So if I want to import them later I can't find them. I found the original files in my hard drive but they are all zip files and they won't unzip.
it seems that one could simply copy or backup the folders somehow and put a second copy easily on another hard drive but its just not looking that way
Thanks for your help

Eh, do a search for .pst files on your C:
The largest one that you find will contain all you mails/contacts etc.
Copy that to somewhere, and then if ever needed you can import again. Jay~

Thanks- that sounds easy enough
Now if I can just get past this message after I click on export/messages
"The export could not be performed,
An error occured while initializing MAPI"
I'll figure it out somehow
thanks for the replies

You don't need to go to Export messages, just leave Outlook closed and find the .pst file and copy it somewhere safe.
Then you will have a copy of all your messages. Jay~

If you go to the microsoft office update page, they have a add-in call pfbackup.exe. Run this program and it puts an option for backup in your menu under File. I have mine set to backup my files every 3 days automatically. But KeyTech is right if you just find the pst file and copy it to another folder you have a backup.
