Ok my computer just messed up and i wanna copy all my outlook express files "sent mail, saved mail, etc to a floppy so I can put onto my laptop.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];Q270670 shows how to backtup the files but not in DOS. If you can figure out a way from looking at that site or already know i'd really appreciate it. Thanks alot

you should be able to find the dbx files. dir \*.dbx /s (inbox.dbx will be quicker if you have a folder of that name) cd to the dir (its a big path so dir \inbox.dbx /s/b >temp.bat and edit the temp.bat to CD might be useful)
If you create folders of the same name in the new oe & then copy these dbx's over them the mail will appear!
