    I have upwards of 200 sites saved in my favorites and about 600 essential business emails in my in & outbox folders.
    I know where these files are stored on the HDD but how can I save them to say a floppy and re-load them on a newly formatted HDD in the correct place to access them in OE as normal
    hope someone can help before I lose them all:(

    You are probably going to get a better answer than this, but I did this task just today. You can open your address book and choose EXPORT and give a destination. This will take care of the addresses.

    You can do a search for FAVORITES and when you find the folder you want, copy it to a destination.

    Should you need to put it back to a new system, Go to you Address Book and choose IMPORT and from where.

    You can go to the Favorites Folder in a new system and copy the saved favorites to it.

    Sounds to easy to be right. Maybe someone else will guide you better.

    Hi peanut
    Here's Billy's way to save your mail. And as Mudd already pointed out.... you can open your browser...go up to file...then export...and choose to export your favourites to a file or floppy if you so choose.
