Thanks, Jan... but I know all that stuff cold. I've been using online
forums in one form or another for almost 25 years now and I used to run a
Fido-net BBS and moderate most of its local forums.

It may sound harsh when I talk to people that way, but believe me, it makes
a lot more sense to baldly tell people they already have what they need than
it does to coddle them and leave them unable to help themselves in the
future.

Hi,
Please help.

RTFM. Have you tried clicking the "help" button?

-------------------

To find where your folders are, open the Tools menu, click Options,
click the Maintenance tab, and then click Store Folder. Copy the
contents of the box (click at the beginning, hold and drag to the
end to select, then CTRL-C to copy,) and paste it into a Explorer
window... there they all are.

-------------------
To compact and back up e-mail folders

1.. Select an e-mail folder.
2.. On the File menu, point to Folder, and then click Compact.
3.. To back up the folder, find the folder file, and then copy it
to a backup folder, floppy disk, or network drive. Outlook Express
e-mail folders have a .dbx extension (for example, "Sent Items.dbx").
Notes

a.. Some message files might be too large to back up onto a floppy
disk. b.. If you are using a program other than Outlook Express to
send e-mail messages to newsgroups, check your e-mail program's
documentation for information about compacting and deleting e-mail
folders. ---------------------

Every bit of this information is right at your fingertips whenever
you're sitting in front of your computer, and you don't need the
internet to find it.
