C:\Windows\Application Data\Identities
Locate the folder for the most recent file, say..5/04/04, which should
contain all your current folders, e-mails, contacts, newsgroups, etc. Then
just copy the folder, or individual files and save to a backup folder, I use
C:\OutlookExpress Backup. If you lose your files and info for some reason
need to import this information at a later date, at least you have a backup.
I make it a point to back mine up at least once a mo. Sure glad I do too,
I've lost everything and it save a *ton* of problems, as I just imported
everything back in. Voila! ;-)
