    Hey

    To backup OE folders open up my computer
    Then double click your C: then Documents and Settings -> YourUsername -> Local Settings -> Application Data -> Identities -> Random Numbers and letters eg {E37EBD06-10B1-4A60-83E9-D724C2AF701E} -> Microsoft -> Outlook Express -> Copy the apporiate DBX file

    Note: You may need to turn on Display hidden files by click on the Tools menu in My Computer, then folder options, the View tab then Show hidden files and folders.
