OE stores mail in the following way

C:\Documents and Settings\%user%\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{long number}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

%user% being the account in question.

The "Local Settings" folder is flagged as hidden/system so you'll need to enable displaying of these items first.

Your Address Book is stored

C:\Documents and Settings\%user%\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book

The "Application Data" folder is also hidden.

Looks like it will.  Thank you very much.  For some reason, the actually program "Help" didn't help.  But then, that's Microsoft, I suppose.

They are stored on a special never-to-be-deleted drive on the New Hope And Change server farm.

You don't have to do anything.  The data are backed up magically.
