I'm no expert, but on my PC (IE 4.4 w/Outlook Express) this is where the mail is located: C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\Default User\Mail\"many individual mail folders". This sub, sub, sub, sub-directory can be saved to a Zip Drive (I do it all the time) as a backup. It can be transferred back if necessary. I've never tried to use OE to directly access the Zip Drive version -- only keep it as a backup and would transfer back if I needed to. Hope this helps!
