Hello.

I'm finding backing up my outlook express mail messages confusing.

"Help" says that I should look in my computer for a folder with .dbx files.
I quote:

"To back up the folder, find the folder file, and then copy it to a backup
folder, floppy disk, or network drive. Outlook Express e-mail folders have a
.dbx extension (for example, 'Sent Items.dbx')."

But when I search for "Sent Items" or ".dbx" in windows XP, it draws a
blank. There's no such folder in my outlook express folder in program files
or anywhere else.

I think I'm missing something. Thanks for any help.

That links to that post. I recommend the clone backup at

find how to make things clean before doing the clone.

You need to an Advanced search for system and hidden files in order to
see the DBX files.
