Upgrading Outlook - how to safely move emails + folders 1

[somethingforkaty]

Hi,

I'm upgrading to a newer version on Outlook Express. How can I safely move all of my email messages, folders and settings?

I have been too scared to do it because I have hundreds of emails stored in there.

Cheers
Katy

An upgrade does not throw your email awy!
If you want to be safe, backup you mails first, find out where they ar stored.
On 2000 and Xp usually something like :
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERSNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{BA98AB55-A6CC-4C56-8EBA-72326D44BBE3}\Microsoft\Outlook Express\Inbox.dbx.

Copy all the files in there to a safe location.

Or, you can use the File - Export function of course.
