O.K. I have Windows XP (w/Outlook Express).

I can backup (copy) everything in my directories
to CD/DVD without a problem.

But I cannot locate where the directory for my e-mail is.
Been searching all day.

I can't back up any e-mails from within Outlook Express
as that only lets you "archive" stuff within Outlook.

Does anyone know where (in "My Computer") I can access
my e-mail?

I have a lot of e-mail that I want to backup on DVD.

Thanks.

That didn't work.

It says:

1.On the Tools menu, click Options.2.On the Maintenance tab, click Store Folder.

I don't have a "Maintenace" tab under Options.

BTW, I can make a ,pst file of my e-mail folders and
put that in any directory but it won't open in
any program.

Still stuck.
