Vista Tutorial - Re: Windows Live Mail Automatic Backup When Compressing vs. Outlook Express Quick Backup

Then there is the very useful OE backup software:

Outlook Express Quick Backup

Downloadable here as freeware:

How much better, if any, is the backup capability in WLM than this OEQB?

P.S.

Note the CLEAN URL's.

As I noted before:

Thank you kindly.

I prefer CLEAN URL's.

No TIME to muck about looking for a message.

It's just proper form and Good Manners to post a CLEAN URL -- sans
shilly-shallying or importuning.

Like this:

FYI that news: link that Noel gave is as "clean" as you
can get.

If you can't use it the problem is with either your newsreader
or your news server.

Also, if you look up this thread on Google Groups you will find
that it resolves news: links as links to other messages in its
archive, but does not do the same for more explicit URLs
(such as MS _non-standard_ news:// URL syntax.)

(Exercise for reader...)

Hmm.... normally that is the case and in fact Google Groups
tried to find it for me. The problem in this particular case is
that the post being cited contains an attachment and Google
Groups frequently ignores posts with attachments.


Very little time difference for the reader when
the the message is current and their newsreader
is working correctly. A huge difference in the amount
of work for the poster, especially if he is finding it
in his offline cache (which I suspect will be the case here.)


Good idea, provided you are providing a link to an HTML
document. Noel was giving you a link to another NNTP
message which is currently available on the MSNEWS
server's archive. Perfect form for providing links to current
messages, particularly when a reader can be assumed
to be using a real NNTP newsreader.
