How to back up your Email Addresses in Outlook Express

Open Outlook Express

1. Select FILE from the Gray bar on the top of the page.
2. EXPORT - ADDRESS BOOK
3. Choose TEXT FILE and click EXPORT
4. Save exported file as: this is where you type in the name you want the file to be - something like email2002
5. Click BROWSE
   • This gives you a save window - choose the A drive to save it to a floppy - then CLICK SAVE
6. This opens a window that says - Save exported file as A:\email2002.csv
7. Click NEXT
8. Check only the things you actually want to save - such as Name and Email - if you have all kinds of information in there check as many as you use.
9. Click FINISH
10. A little window comes up saying Address book export process has completed Click OK
11. Another little window comes up saying Address book export process has completed Click close

Now open MY COMPUTER - Click A Drive - and see if the file email2002.csv (or what ever you named your file) is on the floppy. Click on the file and see if all the information is there. Mine opens up in an Excel spread sheet. Click on the line between A and B to get a double arrow that you move to the right to make enough room to see the information clearly. This can be done to each column you need to expand.
