Default OUTLOOK EXPRESS BACKING UP

Hello to all,

Here goes:-

On PC-A I had a client who has 6 email accounts in Outlook Express!!! They
wanted all of these accounts, emails and everything transferring onto PC-B
which also had 4 other accounts on it, and the existing information deleted
on PC-A.

I used a freebie backup utility I have always used for OE to back everything
up, and restore eveything onto PC-B. Somethings such as account information I
had to do manual through exporting and importing.

Anyway, when I did the restore of the 6 accounts onto PC-B, so hopefully
this would give PC-B 10 accounts!!! the data was overwritten and I ended with
just the 6 accounts from PC-A. All data etc was lost for the other 4 accounts
which initially existed on PC-B. Hope you can follow this.

I had to recreate the 4 accounts but couldn't retrieve the emails or address
book items.

Basically, my question(s) really a-

1) Does anyone know of a good freebie utility that will back everything up
in OE?
2) Secondly, what is the simplest way to do this?
3) Finally, is there an easier way to do what I was trying to achieve ie
transfer all accounts, emails, address books items and add them to other
accounts on another PC?

Many thanks to all,
Jeff
