Windows mail Back-up

How do I back up my Email folders to an external hard drive? Where are they?

Re: Windows mail Back-up

I too have been trying to find where my Windows Mail are stored. I have
tried your suggestion -- but I can get no further than C:\Users\YOUR NAME\.
I am not able to pull up AppData. Any advice would be appreciated.

Tools
Options
Folder Options
View
Check the button for "Show hidden files & folders"
Click Apply
Close it all up and try looking again. AppData is a hidden folder.
