Outlook Express Freebie Backup 2.9.0.11 - Outlook Express Add-On

Outlook Express Freebie Backup is a nifty, though not pretty, tool to back up your Outlook Express emails, settings, filters and contacts. You can also perform certain maintenance tasks and tweak a few hidden settings. Using Outlook Express Freebie Backup can be a bit cumbersome, though.
Outlook Express Freebie Backup is currently not available.

Data, if valuable, needs to be backed up, or it is already half way gone. Unfortunately, Outlook Express does not include tools that would make it easy to back up your emails and settings. No, quite to the contrary. Outlook Express makes the job of creating backups difficult by spreading settings and messages between various files, locations and registry keys.

Outlook Express Freebie Backup is a nifty tool that can collect all these important pieces of data and copy them to a safe backup location. Of course, you can also restore them. I hesitate the say "easily", though, as Outlook Express Freebie Backup comes with an interface that is not merely not pretty but a bit cumbersome to understand and use in certain places.

Outlook Express Freebie Backup includes command line switches that allow you to set up scheduled backup jobs, though. The tool that lets you tweak a few hidden settings, for example, — a nice addition — fails to describe these settings.

Anyway, you can search for (backup or leftover) message stores and address books and import them flexibly. Rules, blocked senders, your Outlook Express settings and other registry values can be restored, too, and all in all Outlook Express Freebie Backup is a very useful backup solution for Outlook Express.
