Archive an OE Mailbox
Outlook Express stores each e-mail folder as a .dbx file. If I archive one of these files to a floppy, then delete the folder, how do I restore it?
Peter R. Law, Monroe, New York
Outlook Express keeps saved e-mail in .dbx files in a location called Store Folder. To find your Store Folder, open OE, select Tools, Options, click the Maintenance tab, then the Store Folder button. (The word folder gets a little confusing here, since an Outlook Express "folder" is a Windows file that resides in a Windows "folder.")
To archive an Outlook Express folder, go to your Store Folder and move the .dbx file to a floppy, CD-R, or other removable medium. Then delete the folder in Outlook Express if you no longer want it.
To restore your saved e-mail, open Outlook Express and select File, New, Folder. Give the new folder the same name as the one you're restoring (it's the archived file's name, minus the .dbx extension), and press Enter. Click the new, empty folder and close Outlook Express. Now copy the archived .dbx file to your Store Folder. If you named the new folder properly, Windows will ask you to confirm that you want to replace the file; click Yes.
The next time you reenter Outlook Express, your saved e-mail file will be there.
