Saving or Exporting Outlook Express Sent Items

[Rod Handeland]

How can Sent Items in Outlook Express be saved to a
location or file that they could be retrieved when virus
or hard disk problems make access impossible? Are they
stored somewhere in Windows Explorer that is accessible?
If so, where? Can they be copied to a word document
other than by highlighting text in each message? Any
explanation would be appreciated since Help or menus
don't help with this problem. I can back up My Docs and
other files to an external drive, but don't know how to
do this with important email messages I need to save and
protect against disk or computer failures.

Thanks for your help.

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!
