i want to reformat is there any way i can keep my emails etc
 
1) Create a folder in My Documents or wherever you like and give it a name (e.g.: Outlook Express)
2) Open Outlook Express and log in to your identity (if not "Main Identity")
3) Go to Tools > Options > Maintenance > Store Folder and point it to the folder you've just created
4) Restart OE

When making a backup, include your self-made folder

1) Put your e-mail folder somewhere on your disk and make sure the files are not read-protected
2) Open OE & cancel on the prompt to configure an e-mail account
After re-installing Windows:
3) Go to Tools > Options > Maintenance > Store Folder and point it to your e-mail folder; click OK when prompted if you want to use it (or import) and restart OE

Note: this does not include your e-mail accounts (you should configure them again) and your address book (should be exported seperately to a .wab file).

You can copy everything to a cd or wherever :)
 
If you have partitions you can just move the store folder to another partition.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
