Do you have suggestion or advise how to back up emails from Outlook express?

Email software holds information in different ways; Outlook express saves every folder in a different file named {name_of_outlook_folder}.dbx, while Outlook 2000 and over saves all the information in a single file named outlook.pst.

To backup your email information, the first step is locating those files in your computer. If you are an Outlook Express user, select your "inbox" folder and make a right-click of your mouse on it. On the menu choose "properties". On the "General" tab, under "This folder is stored in the following" you will find the full path to your inbox.dbx file. Browse your computer to that folder and you will find all your email files there. Be sure that you include this folder in your daily backup.

In the case that you are an Outlook 2000 user, you can use the same procedure or just go to "Start" menu, select "Search" and "For Files or Folders..." option. On the dialog box, include outlook.pst in the search field and hit "Search now". The file will appear in your "Search results" page. If you select the file, you will obtain the full path to this file in your hard disk. Once again, be sure that you include this folder in your daily backup.
