This freeware tool backs up everything in OE in seconds. Disregard what is
written in red. That is referring to a different program.

I have been trying to figure out how to backup/copy my email settings and
messages and folders. I still am confused.
Is there a step by step for a grey surfer?
Also I had an old OE folder with the .dbx messages from long ago on
Win98. I would like to access them but
have no idea how. (incidentally the little icon beside them is from
Photoshop so Photoshop trys to open them if
I click on it.
Sound confused, I am.
