You Can Backup your E-mail Massages in Outlook Express
Step 1 # Open Outlook Express program by clicking on it.
Step 2 # locate your mail folder, the easiest way to locate it is to first click on Tools and then select options from the outlook express menu.
(You will be presented with a dialogue box similar to that shown in Image below.)
You will see a box similar to that in image below, you can see the path to the location of your message folder (your path may vary from that shown). 
Remember this path in order to backup the message files from that folder, to copy the path simply highlight the text in the box (ensure you highlight all of the text), then hold down the CTRL key and press the C key.
When you have copied the full path, simply click the Cancel button (as we don't want to change anything).
Open up Microsoft Word (or similar) and paste (hold CTRL and press the V key) the location into a document (it might be an idea to print the document containing the path).
Now navigate to the folder using my computer or windows explorer, when you are in the folder you should see some files named inbox, offline, etc, with the .dbx extension, these are the files you need to backup.
So now it is simply a matter of copying the files from the message folder to a backup device such as a CD, other hard drive or other storage media.
To restore your messages again in a new or different outlook express simply copy the message files into the store folder on the new system (the location of which can be found by following the above steps again)..
