Best way to back up emails

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

Yes, just drag them to the Finder. m.

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.
