I have to format c:, where are my emails stored?
 

HELP!

Don't worry about those. They don't actually erase when you format C:

They'll be there after the format. Just ask AMP. He can help you.

Put a small piece of poop onto a fancy dinner plate, cut it into small portions, and EAT IT!

if you use outlook just export the messages and address book as a .wab file and save it to disk

fine have it your way.

But what I WOULDN'T do if I were you, is a search on your HD for *.eml files. That SHOULDN'T lead you to a directory with all your email files. I hope it DOESN'T work for you.

using outlook? look for outlook.pst and archive*.pst, keep note of where they are, put them back in the same place, hope that works, i just learned that not too long ago, havn'e actually done it yet, let me know if it works :)

Then I DON'T take back the poop thing...

If it's outlook (or similar like eudora), and you didn't do any backups, you can kiss your emails goodbye

i also need to f*rmat c:
how do i save all the IE cookies, passwords etc, please?

Hoax,

For Outlook Express the files are here:

windows\application Data\identities\(your identity)\Microsoft\Outlook Express


Copy save and restore after format. Hope this helps. I'm sure there is an easier way but I've never figured out the easy way in anything I do. Go figure.
