Outlook

Microsoft bundles a pair of email programs Outlook and Outlook Express with their Windows OSes. Outlook Express is smaller and faster, but has fewer features. The main additional features of Outlook are:

A meeting scheduler that handles scheduling, notifying, confirming and reminding of meetings and appointments. If others have the same program, the process can be quite automatic.
The ability to use MS Word and its macros and autocorrects to compose messages.
Ability to display a 4 line preview of each message.
Notepad to keep track a to do list and journal.

Outlook Express is capable of forwarding messages without wrapping them in clumsy enclosures. Both programs are highly susceptible to viruses and worms that target them and their address lists.

Backup

To backup Outlook Express files, first discover where it is putting them with Tools ⇒ Options ⇒ Maintenance ⇒ Store Folder. Then back up all the files in that folder. They will be *.dbx files named after each mailbox.

To backup the address book, Export it as a CSV file.

To backup a mail account, click Tools ⇒ Accounts ⇒ Mail ⇒ Export.

To backup newsgroups, click Tools ⇒ Accounts ⇒ News ⇒ Export.
