Yes. Several ways.

Google, Bing, etc. may serve you well here. What works for me may not be
what you want. My mails are all backed up along with the complete drive on
the first of every month, with incremental backups in between. I can
recover them anytime I want to from any date range.

HTH,

Twayne`

I used this when I had OE.

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

Outlook Express Quick Backup (OEQB):

If you don't have too many folders, you can also drag the entire contents of
an OE folder to a Windows folder. The messages will still remain in OE.


Either way, copy the backup to an external source in case your entire system
goes down.

My thanks to Bruce and Twayne for their help.
I'm now backing up the whole of OE to an external drive.
