Has anyone got any clues on how to write a batch file to copy all your dbx files?

I do.....however, in order to write it for you I'd need the path of where they are located and the path of where you would like them moved to.

Regardless, here's an example of how I would do it:
*** begin batch file ***

@echo off
cd C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{6E015240-5731-46AE-AEFA-EE29A825E8E7}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

copy *.dbx [path of target location]

*** end batch file ***

Note: The above path denotes the location of the .dbx files for Outlook Express on a 2000 Pro system. The Username will be different on your system (of course) as well as the folder under \Identities. To figure out exactly where your .dbx files are located, open OE and then go to Tools >> Options and choose the Maintenance tab. Under there click on the "Store Folder" button to find your exact path.

If you're using Outlook, you should be able to find the path to the folder with your mail the same way as with OE.
