Creating a backup of emails by means of an Outlook Express export into .eml files

First of all, create a root folder on the hard disk where the message files will be saved after the Outlook Express export is complete. Once done, create subfolders in the root folder with names matching the names of folders used for storing messages in OE (Inbox, Outbox, Archived, folders for specific senders/recipients, etc). Since Microsoft products are fully compatible and integrated with Windows, you can simply use drag-and-drop to move messages from the OE window into corresponding folders in Windows ...

This export method is only possible due to the fact that Outlook Express stores messages in the .eml format, so when performing an EML export of emails into a Windows folder, you will get copies of your messages in the destination folder. Once all the necessary messages have been transferred, you can proceed to importing your .eml files into a single file for subsequent PST import using the EML to PST Converter.
