Helping Normal People Get Their Geek On And Live The Digital Lifestyle
One widely unknown feature of Outlook Express and the Windows Live Mail client is how easy it is to backup your mail locally (to which you can then burn to CD/DVD, put on a USB stick, etc.) Even if you’re not using Hotmail, you can easily back up any POP or IMAP account by a simple drag’n'drop to a local folder. You could even backup Gmail easily using the WLmail client.

Hi
Could not get it to export to my external hard drive but got it to work in a folder in mydocuments. Shame that microsoft could not add a back up facility which you can set the time it backsup or only backs up what has changed. Maybe they will get to it soon.

Easiest email backup for Windows? Probably. Easiest email backup ever? Wrong.
Microsoft Entourage for Macintosh takes that prize. Copy one folder and you’ve backed up all of your email messages, mail settings, calendar settings, events, address books, and everything else that configures the program. Just copy that folder back to any other computer and you’ve got a perfect restoration of all of your important data.
