Outlook Express ?

[Armand]

Okay am planning on slamming my whole system through the eye of a needle this week and starting afresh hard drive wise.[nbsp][nbsp]Anybody happen to know of a secret to saving/copying the entire contents (all messages) in Outlook Express?[nbsp][nbsp]I know you can export individual messages as text files, but considering I have about 200-400 folders and then tons of messages in those... want a shortcut if possible.

Worth a try to ask... though I am not sure there's a simple way on this.

Usually I would just save all the .dbx files in OE5 or in OE4 its the .idx and .mbx, but after my last reinstall it refused to see the files altogether for what reason I don't know. I ended up converting to Calypso and with the help of the programmer I got my old files restored too, great program.

DOH!!!! Sounds like a pain in the *$$... I just did a search on my system.[nbsp][nbsp]1200+ files found (idx and mbx format)- nearly 40 megs....uuuuggggghhhh.[nbsp][nbsp]Huh... I managed to get the themes bug fixed.... want irony?[nbsp][nbsp]I got it to work while creating a new Dr. Who theme.

I'm starting to think I may be more easily able creating and finding fixes for all these bugs first.[nbsp][nbsp]Thanks a lot Daniel for the info. :)

Wow, 1200, you weren't kidding about the 400 folders were you, good luck.
