Restore computer without deleting emails.

[Tommer]

Microsoft (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windo...-questions) Wrote:System Restore affects Windows system files, programs, and registry settings. It can also make changes to scripts, batch files, and other types of executable files on your computer.
Note


System Restore does not affect personal files, such as e-mail, documents, or photos, so it cannot help you restore a deleted file. If you have backups of your files, you can restore the files from a backup.

However, if you don't trust M$, the instructions for finding the location of where your emails are stored on your machine once downloaded are here;

Those instructions are confirmed working from 2000-2007 idk about later versions of Outlook but it's probably the same or similar.

It seems strange that he's asking to keep his emails safe. Surely even if he did lose them after a restore they would still be on the mail server and thus could be downloaded again?

Ahwell. Hope it helps.
