How to export all mail in Outlook Express? 1

[correro]

Hi!

Is there any way that I can export all my mail stored in Outlook Express to external .eml or .txt files (in one go, instead of one by one)?

Please help!

Access Your DBX files--- Without Outlook Express!
Paul Schindler--- whom some of you may remember from WinMag or Byte--- sent along a note about "a program that would extract messages from an outlook express .dbx file." One Philip Rynes had told Paul about the tool, which is part of a pair of related freeware tools available at

http://chattanooga.net/~scochran/DBXtend.htm

and

http://chattanooga.net/~scochran/DBXtract.htm

Both are tiny freeware utilities that let you extract or manipulate the email stored inside an OE DBX file, without having to use OE at all. In fact, if a corrupted or misinstalled DBX file prevents you from accessing your OE email, one of these tools still may be able to get inside the file and grab what you need.

I have not used the above utilities, since I use Outlook 2000. Good luck.

an easier way is to create a folder on you desktop, call it emails, open it up, then drag your emailsfrom outlook into the new folder and drop them in, write them to a cd or floppy and take them where ever you want.

Hello Dyb:

How do you drag the emails from outlook into a new
folder I created on the desktop?

Make OE a half window, open the new folder in a half window, put them side by side, and start dragging and dropping, i believe you can select all (ctrl + A) and drag them all in one shot. note though, if you have multiple emails with the same name/ sender, it will prompt you to overwrite the other email.
