Friends who often use Outlook Express or Foxmail often have to patiently back up important mailbox data before reinstalling the system, such as Inbox, sent mail box, and address book. The Chinese software Foxmail is quite convenient. You can export all the important data at once and import it after installing the system! However, Microsoft's Outlook Express is not working, so I had to save it to the local hard drive folder one by one. It was very tired! Is there any convenient backup method? Of course!

  I. Foxmail

Open the directory where Foxmail is located before reinstalling the system, usually in c: \ Program Files. Copy all the related folders to other secure disks for backup. After the system reinstalls the package, paste it to a directory and start to install Foxmail. Remember to select the directory you just pasted as the installation path. During the installation process, the system will ask "Foxmail already exists. Do you want to install it in its directory ?" Select "yes"... after installation, make sure you have a lot of emails! Maybe the address book doesn't exist. It doesn't matter if there is an email. Why? Or back up the data before importing it!

  Ii. Outlook Express

Generally, you only need to back up the "inbox" and "sent" mailboxes. Find out where they are, Win98 is often located in c: \ windows \ Application Data \ identities \ {D5397240-EDAB-11D5-B5E9-E38A7013147C} \ Microsoft \ Outlook Express, WINXP (if the system username is Gavin Cheung) is located in C: \ Documents and Settings \ Gavin Cheung \ Local Settings \ Application Data \ identities \ {261203cd-afa8-427f-8bf5-6addfe25d6cb} \ Microsoft \ Outlook Express directory! You can find any system (and of course only the Microsoft family has OE) by using the following methods: choose tools> Options> maintenance> storage folder from your OE menu (or directly click the mailboxes on the left of the OE box, right-click "properties" in the shortcut menu and you will see it! Copy these two files for backup. After reinstalling the system, follow the above method to find the address of the mailbox (normally, if the installation system remains the same, the address will not change), and paste the backup file to overwrite the existing file! Convenient?

Note: paste overwrite before you first register your E-MAIL mailbox, and then open Oe, respectively click on all the mailbox, so that some existing mailbox automatically generated, such as "sent. dbx ". Otherwise, after you paste and overwrite, you will find that "sent. DBX" generates another file "sent email (1). DBX", while "sent Email" is empty.

Post: in fact, the article itself is not important. It is important to let everyone know that many programs with historical records (usually we want to keep them) have a core file, you only need to back up this core file to keep your records! Let's explore it later :-)
