I have quite a few folders, addresses, and messages saved in Outlook Express. I want to be sure they are backed up so I can reformat. What all does that include, and where are the files located?

For future reference, is there a better way to store emails than just creating folders and subfolders?

Depending on what version of Windows you are running the files can be located in different places. However they are usually all under the same folder. Do a search on your C: drive for the Outlook Express folder. It is usually located under WINDOWS/Application Data/Microsoft (95/98/ME) or WINNT/Profile/userid/Application Data/Microsoft (NT) or Documents and Settings/userid/Application Data/Microsoft (W2K).
