- Saving files & settings from OE
- Posted by Newt on June 30th, 2003
Hi,
How do I save my email setings, messages and addresses from Outlook Express
for safe keeping so that I can reinstall them after format?
what are pst files?
what other files should I be searching for and backing up?
TIA
Newt

and typed:
A pst file is the one file that Outlook (NOT Outlook Express), part of the
MS Office suite, keeps all its emails, tasks, contacts, calendar etc in.
OE uses many files with the extension dbx
