I haven't heard from you in a while. I found an easier way to save all of your e-mail in one shot. Get this, Miscrosoft says it can't be done, but I've done it. The following steps will save your special folders inside of Outlook Express, along with all of your e-mail, and address.
1. Double click My Computer.
2. Double click the C drive.
3. Double click on the Windows Foler.
4. Click SHOW Files on the left.
5. Double click the Application Data folder.
6. Double click the Identities folder.
7. Double click the only folder there.
8. You now see an Outlook Express folder.
You will want to copy and paste that folder to diskette or to another hard-drive for save keeping. If you have more than one PC hooked up together, you can copy that folder to the same location on the other PC. As you copy it over, it may say "overwrite files?" Tell it yes. Then, Open up Outlook Express on that machine, and you will have all of your mail, subfolders, and e-mail contacts.
Have a good one,
