MSN 8 Email Question

[kctom]

Does anyone know what file(s) I would need to backup in order to save my emails that are stored in the "Folders on my Computer" section under the "Stored Messages" folder? Thanks, KCTom

Thanks Stu37. I think things must have changed in MSN 8. There is no longer an Archived Folder (it's called "Stored Messages"). It also looks like there isn't a .dbx folder anymore. After unchecking the box to hide system and hidden files, I ran a search (*.dbx) for all dbx files and came up with just my old Outlook Express and Exchange ones from years past.

MSN Online Help provided me with a way to copy the individual emails to a directory, but it would be nice if there was some file I could save instead of all those emails individually. Those instructions are listed below.

If anyone knows of a file I could save instead of the emails individually, it would be appreciated.

Thanks again Stu37
