How do I backup my mail files

[Daniel]

Hi

I have Outlook2002 with Windows XP Pro.

I need to format my Hard Drive,
how do I backup my mail so I can use it when I reinstall Outlook?
I do not need to keep the Addresses etc, just the Emails.

thanks

Daniel

There are various methods to do this, one of which you should consider is using
Windows XP's native F.A.S.T. utility. It's designed to transfer applicable
program files and settings, of your choosing, from one system to another but it
can also be used for backup purposes. See this link for a comprehensive
discussion and tips on how to use it:

Be aware that passwords will not make the trip...that's by design.
