Backup Email Messages

In Outlook Express emails are stored in files with DBX extension. The easiest way to find these files is to open Outlook Express and from menu select Tools Options Maintenance and click the Store Folder button. Here you can find the path to the folder containing your emails.

This procedure works for all kind of email: SMTP / POP3, IMAP, MAPI, or even the Hotmail Account (some messages might be stored only at the Hotmail server).

To save all your emails and attachments you should copy all the DBX files from the folder.
