As more and more businesses go online, the use of email to interact with clients and other businesses has made it imperative to have a record of the emails and so the need for email management and back up!
The need for working with emails using a friendlier interface has brought in Email Clients - programs that send, receive, catalog, store and search emails messages.Outlook Express is one such program.

- You will be immediately taken to the folder in which Outlook Express stores your email messages.
The program stores the messages in file with the extension .dbx and there is one .dbx file corresponding to each folder that you have in Outlook Express.
- Here's where your messages are stored. You can copy and paste the files to another system or burn it on a CD.
Note: You can also specify the Store Folder in Outlook Express. This way you will know for certain where messages are stored.You can take backups from that directory instead of going through all the steps above.
To set the Store Folder, select the Change button and change the folder.
