In Outlook Express, need to back up mail files.
Tried "compact all folders", but no .dbx file found on
hard drive to copy. Where are emails in folders stored?
Thank you.
Compacting folders doesn't backup! Where on earth did you get that idea? Its
a good idea TO compact folders BEFORE you backup.
Backup and Restore OE

BTW, This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.
For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as
http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!
