Best way to back up emails

W

Hi,

I’ve had a few crashes with entourage 2004 this week and i want to
start backing up my emails. What is the best way to do this? Am i able
to save them so they can be opened in a diffferent app? I’m looking to
aviod the stress of the last few days not sure if i’m going to be able
to get my emails back. If i do a compact and back up through entourage
am i going to be able to open the emails if i don’t have entourage
running? Ideally i’d want to be able to have a back up app to open
them in if emtourage crashes big time and i have to re install.

cheers

Chris

Or, better still, use the 'export' function to export them all to an
entourage archive. This is just a package folder of standard .eml files.
Control-click on the archive produced by entourage and choose 'show
contents' from the contextual menu. Then, navigate to where all the mails
are stored in a hierarchical structure that mimics your folders in
entourage.
