Back-up Outlook Express messages

[Karl B.]

I have app 600 messages in one folder within Outlook Express and I want to
copy this folder with all the messages to a folder on the desktop (Windows
98) so that I can find it when I open Nero CD burning software.
The goal is to have the files backed up on a CD and then delete them from
Outlook Express.

When I click on the folder within O.E. copy and save is disabled. When I
select all messages in the folder copy is disabled. I can save the messages
individually, but this would take a long time, there must be a better way?

Any suggestions?

Search your drive where outlook express is installed
for .dbx files this is your outlook express data you are
looking for. Outlook express uses the .dbx extension for
its data.
