what's the folder called that holds all the email accounts for Outlook Express on XP???

It's hidden deep down in the registry. Another great MS idea. *sigh*
My suggestion, if you wanna backup emails, would be to select your emails in Outlook and drag them to a folder.

look for a .pst file
it contains all your emails.
the name should follow your name account
good luck

i would suggest going into
TOOLS > Maintenance > Store Folder and changing where your mail data gets stored
i did it, and it makes back up so easy! i just put mine in My Documents and called it mail!

correction:
TOOLS > Options > Maintenance > Store Folder
hope that helps!

It very easy actually. Just do a search for .dbx files. Look for the folder they are all in and copy it. A .pst file is for Outlook not Outlook Express.
