Archiving Outlook Express Messages

[Joseph Gabb]

Hi,

I am using Outlook Express 6.0 with Windows XP Home
Edition. I have since decided to backup my e-mail
messages so I used the "compacting" option to archive the
messages into a "dbx" file on my desktop. However, the
instructions do not advise how to restore the file for
future viewing or use.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Ask in an Outlook Express forum. This is an Microsoft Office Outlook forum.

Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
family.

Good Luck!

Compacting does nothing except what it says it does - Compacting! there is
NO archive function within OE.
