now i have to figure out how to restore shit from what I backed up - anybody know how to restore Outlook Express email boxes (.dbx file)? I try to import them by selecting the folder which has the backeup .dbx files - but it keeps giving me this crap "no messages can be found in this folder or another application is running that has the required files open'. Bullshit, no other apps running. Anybody know how to do this?
Also, how do i restore ICQLite contact lists when I go and re-install the program? What's the file called that holds the contact lists?
Thanks

Easiest way to back up and restore your outlook crap is to
Change folder view to show hidden files apply to all folders ?temporally of course?
Navigate to C:\hahahahahahahahas and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{blablabla}\Microsoft\Outlook Express.
Then just copy and paste the whole outlook folder.
Note for the outlook folder to be created on a fresh install you need to at least open then cancel the outlook wizard once.
For your email boxes you need to export and import those separate which are a (.iaf) file not (.dbx
