Outlook express help backing up
It only takes a short while to amass a large amount of emails,
many of us have emails from years back. Emails from family,
friends or business all have one thing in common, usually once
they are lost, they really are lost, this is where a good email
backup comes in. Backing up emails can be easy and once its in
place only takes a few minutes.

Email user account backup
How to make a backup of your email accounts , once this is done
a backup of your account will store the username, plus server
details, if you ever have to setup your email accounts again,
this has never been so easy.
Backup email addresses / contacts
Lastly we have contacts, how many do you have in your list? I
consider myself to be an average user and over the course of 2
years I have around 300, and of those maybe 60-70 that I user
frequently.
If I lost all of these, the thought of having to contact each
person via phone to get an email address is not something I’d
have the time to do, so if your like me, make a backup of your
email addresses it’s very quick and easy.
As you can see there is a fair list of outlook express help
topics that apply to most people, there are even more topics
than this such as using stationery or rules, which I’ll include
at a later stage.
All of the topics included are what you could call critical
tasks, you really have to just look at each one and conclude if
you could live with losing your emails, addresses etc .
One other thing to note, if you are going to backup any data,
please make sure you store any data that has been backed up onto
a different backup drive or medium. Otherwise having a backup on
the same drive will just be taking up space.
If ever the hard drive fails
you’ll still lose everything.
If you’d like more info on backup
devices etc ,
checkout our backup pages
where we cover all aspects of backing up from using Windows
backup to advising on various backup storage mediums.
