    When I export my mail folders to another PC they are exported with the proper folder names but when you look at the contents of the folders all the messages don't have the proper names, they seem to been given a random string of letters and numbers.
    How can I backup all my folders and keep the messages with there proper names?

    What kind of proper names would you like to see?

    When I look at the raw files they too have the numeric names of the files. If I look that the properties of a file-> Details tab I see the subject line of the mail...

    If and when you need to restore all mail from a folder you'd be good to go.

    Subject name

    When I look at the messages I have exported I would like to see the subject name listed for all of them, if you are looking for a particular mail you want to restore it could take you ages if there are a hundred or so mails. Getting 'Details ' of each mail can take a long time.
