MSN Explorer Email back up

[Chris]

Hello,
I am in the process of cleaning and backing up my harddrive. I want to
back up my MSN Explorer email. When you back up your email using MSN
Explorer, does it back up email on server only or also the email stored on
"My Computer"?

If you use the internal backup option under import/export to create the msnbak
file, it backs up all mail in the local folders. There really isn't a need to
backup the server folders, since that mail will sync the next time you connect.
It does back up the copies of the mail that is on the server that is also on the
PC. And, it backs up the mail that you have moved locally only to the "on my
computer" location.

Can anyone tell me how to back-up my MSN mail ("MSN powered by Qwest")--and, in addition, when I attempt to delete the in-box en masse the action fails. Suggestions?

Open MSN Explorer, Settings, Email Settings, Import/Export.
You export the entire mail store to a single file, *.msnbak. This file can only
be imported back into MSN Explorer.
You cannot delete the Inbox, but if selecting all messages within the Inbox
fails, it could be a corrupt mail store or it could be a memory issue. What
error do you encounter?
Note that all mail in the main folders in MSN mail can also be accessed via
www.hotmail.com or via Windows Live Mail, installed from
http://download.live.com
Any mail that is in the "folders on my computer" can only be accessed via MSN
Explorer on that computer. To see them on the web site or in Windows Live Mail
they need to be moved into the folders that sync with the server.
