How can I back-up my Outlook Express folders to a flash drive?

Answer 1

In outlook express go to Tools > Options > Maintenance and click on "Store Folder". Right click on the path and copy+paste it into the explorer address bar and press enter. That will take u to the storage folder on ur computer. From there you can copy the contents on anything u want.

Answer 2

I went to Outlook Express and clicked on "help." This is what they said about backing up folders:

To compact and back up e-mail folders

Select an e-mail folder.
On the File menu, point to Folder, and then click Compact.
To back up the folder, find the folder file, and then copy it to a backup folder, floppy disk, or network drive. Outlook Express e-mail folders have a .dbx extension (for example, "Sent Items.dbx").
Notes

Some message files might be too large to back up onto a floppy disk.
If you are using a program other than Outlook Express to send e-mail messages to newsgroups, check your e-mail program's documentation for information about compacting and deleting e-mail folders.


Hope that helps.

You can use Acronis True Image for such purposes. The latest version of ATI can backup Outlook files. Actually ATI can backup almost everything to any drive you want. ATI is very simple in use and possesses user friendly interface, so I think that this is the most appropriate tool for a backup purposes.
