I am trying to decide whether to purchase SafeMail ver 1.04 program to
backup Outlook Express information (www.qwhale.com/products/safemail/),
to see how well it works. Appears to be a simple program to use and yet have
the options to backup all or part of Outlook Express. I have some neighbors
who are not too computer savvy and this program appears to be simple enough
for them to use. Did a Goggle search and could not find anything about the
program.
Any comments and suggestions for anyone who has used or is familiar with
this
program, would be very much appreciated, Sam.

P.S. - I have a Dell Dimension 8200 computer with windows XP Pro (SP2).

Why buy when you can do it for free? These programs were written by MS-MVPs.

As Bruce says, why buy when you don't have to? You can use Safemail as a
trial, but this is limited in what it will do. There is no such limit
with the program Bruce recommends. Plus, it was written by an OE MVP,
thus with knowledge of the issues of the program.

Bruce and Kath, many thanks for your replies. I will definitely try the
mentioned backup program and then help my neighbors to backup their Outlook
Express information. Have a good week, Sam.
