OE
Backup or Move OE. If you lose any HD it will more than likely be the C:
drive where you keep your addr bk and old msgs. I only keep the OS on the
C: drive. You may have backed up your x.wab files, but why not just move
all of it to the D: drive? Msgs are kept in small dbases of the .dbx type.
To figure out where your e-mail databases are just hit the
OE/Tools menu/Options/Maintenance tab/Store Folder button.
Outlook Express will show you where it's keeping your e-mail databases.
Clik on Change btn and browse to where you want to keep them; set this tgt
folder up ahead of time. Reboot to take effect.
