As you know not every client has switched to web e-mail yet. Living in a state where most people still use Outlook Express is embarrassing. However I need to learn how to set up these accounts for clientele in the case I format the computer so they can get there old e-mail back.

I also need to learn how to take all information off of Outlook Express and transfer it back to the computer after a rewipe.

Sorry, down here everybody just uses what the cable company set up for them. Even if it don't work half the time.

Not to hijack your thread, but I could also use some Outlook Express help, specifically how to get saved emails from it into a real e-mail client. My mom is still running an old copy of Outlook from the 90s in emulation to avoid having to switch.

Many clients may have an import for Outlook. If you are using IMAP, then they are hosted on the server anyway, so no transfer necessary. Otherwise effectively you email them, preferably using a local sever.

this may help
