> have you got win xp?
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?

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.
