This is a little old fashioned, but it works. Go to OE in windows
explorer and right click the folder>Send to>CD. I actually send it to
My Doc's and every time I back up my personal folders I burn them and
OE from there. To replace it after a reinstallation, or in a new
puter, just send everything from the CD to My Doc's and in Windows
Explorer, just drag the OE folder from My Doc's to the OE folder in
Windows Explorer, (Cope Here). All your folders and mail will be
there when you open OE. Rules, Blocked senders and Address Book have
to be done separately
