Hi Ed,
If you mean is it the same for MS Outlook, then no, its slightly different.
To save the outlook folder and usually with it the contacts list you may
have built up you need to copy which is usually called "outlook.pst".
You can simply go into where Microsoft outlook places this folder and copy
it out to wherever you wish for backup purposes.
Here are the instructions:
1. Open up the start menu and go to run.
2. Type in the following exactly:
C:\documents and settings\user name\local settings\application
data\Microsoft\outlook
And then press the enter key. Note that where I have placed user name this
could be something different such as your user name which might be: eharper
or in my case it is ptraynor.
Now when you pressed enter key you are in the location of where outlook
places its "pst file". It will be called as I have mentioned earlier
"outlook.pst" so just copy and paste this file to any place you like. When
you wish to use it again you need to invoke the correct importing procedures
to accomplish success with it. I will write up those later if you like.
Regards,
Paul.

Hi Maureen,
Yes, you can import them back over whenever you wish. Please just remember
that what you copied today of course will sound like jibberish as they
aren't folders in the sense you would know and understand. Please don't do
anything to them like saving them under other names etc that would cause
them to become corrupt as this would make them unusuable in the future.
Paul.

Thanks Paul, that's the job. If in the event of me getting a new computer
can I import folders back to outlook express as I note they are now reading
"gibberish" to me.
