Does anyone know how to do this?
have you got win xp?
The way I do it is to goto the File they are stored in. If your using Outlook Express, look under
C:\Windows\Aplications Data\Identities\*\Microsfot\Outlook Express\
and here should be the files for Outlook Express, where your E-mails are stored. I just make a copy of these files, and if I need to, just paste them back in this location when I format my Hard Drive.
I think there is an Import/Export function within Outlook and Outlook Express though, which probably is easier and quicker to do, but thats how I do it.
Just make sure if you paste say the inbox file back into the location, it will overright any existing E-mails you have in your Inbox.

Oh, and the * represents a really filladly name, something like {2B0FC840-CF56-11D6-84E7-8EB94F1CF50E} but it mighy be different on your machine.

Yes I have got WinXP now and am using Outlook Express 6 and have just found a really annoying thing that the Microsoft boys in Seattle must have loved implementing.
I sent an email from my works address and attached an executable file to it and sent it to my home address. Get home that night and download the file and OE6 and XP decided without my consent that the executable would be a virus and has therefore removed it from my email.
Hang on a second, I've sent myself a file which I know to be perfectly ok and it's been deleted by the software.....what's all that about?
Anyone got any ideas how to turn this off (if you can) or do you have to send everything as a zip file from now on?

Um. I get sent hundreds of viri every month and XP does nothing about it. Slap your antivirus software.

It has nothing to do with my anti virus software thanks. It's actually an internal switch set by OE6 which says that any .exe files plus others but this is one I know of are deemed to be a virus straight away.
MS seem to think that everyone doesn't utilise anti virus software and have decided to stop them from reaching the user.
Fortunately they've also made it that you can turn it off as well. Goto Tools > Options and select the Security tab and untick the "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus" and voila the attachments re-appear as they should have done in the first place :D

It's actually a clever move on Microsoft's part. (It's only just been implemented with SP1)
You see e-mails are spread because the great computing illiterati will click on any attachment even if it says imavirus.exe.
So simply block all attachments. (everything gets blocked, even JPEGs)
Anyone with an once of know-how will find the option to turn it off - these people are therefore intelligent enough not to spread viruses - and those who can't are really too dumb to be allowed anywhere near a computer, yet alone a virus-bearing e-mail.

Good point Mr Happy
If Microsoft could now force everyone to send emails using BCC instead of CC then the amount of spam we get would be cut as well......

But if Microsoft had antivirus software built in to the OS with auto-reporting and updating it would build one of the largest anti-virus knowledge bases in the world. Fools.
