I want to archive oe mail

[anon]

Any suggestions for a program (free if possible) which will do the following
to my oe mail:

1 save individual folders I created in oe into individual archived folders.
2 allow the archived mail to be read (and appear) like it did when I
received it.
3 allow me to open each archived mail in an oe like environment.
4 archived mail to contain the original date (header info) and be listed in
the original order (usually by date received.)
5 the archiving operation to semi automated so that I do not have to
manually open each and every subfolder to get the mail archived (I have
many, many folders.)

Well, there's a good freebie called oebackup that works great,
and is able to restore, but it's not quite what you want,
Personally though I think you should look it over at:
www.oehelp.com . It's pretty easy to archive and restore.

The only other possibilities (that occur to me, others might have
better ideas) are Winzip 10 with its scheduled backup jobs, or
xcopy or xxcopy. You already have xcopy with your OS, but
xxcopy, a larger implementation built on it, though free, is
harder to use but it'll do about everything except windows <g>.
Then again, there's always good old NTbackup if you're running
XP, which you already have.

Your OE .dbx files are in a proprietary MS compression of a proprietary
MS db format. They are 'reasonably' efficient if compacted. Naturally
there are all kinds of alternative compression schemes which can archive
and compress the compressed files more compactly -- the degreee of
compactness being affected by how fast you want the compression program
to perform its duties - and the choice of compression formats also being
slightly affected by how fast you want any further decompression to be
performed.

Do you mean to read it with something other than OE?

But not OE? I'm not quite clear whether or not you are wanting to have
OE functionality without having OE. But maybe you would be interested
in the Express Archiver

If it is the .dbx file you are working with, that will be the case. It
will also be the case if you are converting the .dbx into a different
format such as one of the unix mailbox or mbox formats. Beware the
incompatibilities between various mbox formats.

If it were me doing it, I would keep things as .dbx files and develop an
backup scheme for backing up the folder of all of the .dbx files,
including folders.dbx -- whether your backup program chooses to
compress the folder of .dbx files is an option. You will keep things
'tighter' if you compact all of your .dbx folders before you back them
up.

You would configure your backup proggie to grab the OE .dbx
folder/files. Many backup programs do their own compression 'in the
background' and don't actually decompress unless you are restoring the
backup. If you are planning on automating some non-backup compressing
archiving script so that you can do your messing with the .dbx/es
without performing any kind of backup restore, that would depend on the
'backbone' of whatever compression or backup program you chose.

In some ways, it isn't really an issue of the .dbx files, the way I'm
understanding you, but rather an issue of how you choose to do the
archiving - as fundamentally a backup orchestration - or as
fundamentally a synchronization operation, not really for backup, more
for alternative access.

How would I 'read' the files (in oe or something else.)

If you like the OE interface I would use that. Some of the other apps I
gave links to also have OE like interface.

If when I read the files, they look like they did in the original oe
display, that is the best of all worlds.

I don't know how often you plan to create this archive or if it is a
backup or synchronization of some other 'clone' store folder. Common
advice prior to any backup process is to disengage from the server so
nothing is coming in and compact all folders.

It might be useful for you to read Tom Koch's comparison of his clone ba
ckup strategy vs the OE BackUp program's strategy -- plus other simpler
or more comprehensive backup plans at Koch's site

The suggestion of copying into another folder sounds like the best way yet.

When I copy the files from oe into a folder - how do I 'read, search, etc.

We need to back up a little bit and distinguish the 'persona' or
identity that you are 'normally' -- where you have your 'own' OE and its
files and folders and organizational structure and such -- and the
persona or identity that you want to be when you are accessing these
'other' OE files and folders and organizational structure that we've
been talking about.

I say it that way because maybe that's the way you should do it. You
can create as many identities in OE as you like. So, your normal
identity has these files and folders over here. Your other identity has
those other files and folders over there. When you need to switch
identities you just click 'switch identities'

Identity1 has a completely different inbox and folder structure and
accounts and whatall than does identity2.

Years ago I was a RR roadrunner subscriber with email and newsgroup
activity and I save my correspondence.

Then I became an EL earthlink subscriber with email and newsgroup
activity and I still saved my correspondence.

During that time I had 1 -3 computers networked together, in which
network from time to time one computer would 'morph' or change into
another computer. -- so over the course of a few years there must've
been 6 or 7 different harddrives and store folders and such for the OE
activity.

I created several different identities for handling those timeframes --
including importing various folders from one identity to another so that
I could keep the old mails and newsmessages I wanted in an orderly
fashion.

I wasn't planning on using more than one identity (have been only using one
all this time.)

Instead of 'identities' I have tried this to 'read' other computer's mail
folders.

I create a folder and call it something (other computer, for instance) under
'local folders' then rename the copy of the other computer's letters from
its folder name to 'other computer' then open this mew folder with oe.

This has worked for individual oe folders on the other computer. Is there an
easier way to have several folders deep there - or how does the multiple
identities work for reading mail that is several folders deep under the
local folder heading. Do I make up a 'carbon copy' of the folder tree in the
new identity?

I don't necessarily mean a different meatspace identity -- I mean a
different OE identity

Instead of 'identities' I have tried this to 'read' other computer's
mail folders.

I'm just saying that you can create an OtherComputer identity in OE and
import the other computer's mail into that identity and get it all
sorted and organized into folders and handle it however you like. Then
it isn't mixed in with This Computer's mail or news messages. Or
folders.

I create a folder and call it something (other computer, for

Yes. You can do it that way, with folders under the same identity.

The other identity method has its own completely different folder
structure. The original purpose of the identity business is so that
different 'personas' could have their own Inbox and Sent and Outbox
which isn't possible under one identity.

But if you don't need those functions for the other mail then you could
do it all with the folder functions.

When I 'exported' the address book, THAT was successful.

When I tried to 'export' messages, I got a dialog box - this will export
form oe to ms outlook or ms exchange (which should I do?), when I clicked ok
then I got an error message - the export could no be performed. an error
occurs while initializing MAPI.

What does the message mean and how to circumvent it?

NOW when I succeed and want to import this saved file - do I just click on
file -> import and let it 'do its thing' and the folders will open same as
in the original identity?

I wasn't actually talking about exporting messages, but importing from a

The Tom Koch site about OE files is useful to understand
http://www.insideoe.com/files/ How OE stores files on your hard disk

My idea was that there is a folder somewhere which is full of all of
those .dbx files including folders.dbx. That is an 'archive'.

If you were doing it the 'identity way', you would create an 'archive'
identity. Now that new identity has no existing folders or files except
for empty Inbox, Sent, Deleted, Drafts, and Outbox which are created by
default.

In the new archive identity, you would use a wizard File/ Import/
Messages/ select from OE6/ then select the radio button From an OE store
directory instead of the default from an OE identity.

That will require you to navigate to the store directory which you
learned about above from reading at Tom Koch's site.

Part of the problem here is that you started this topic by saying "I
want to archive OE mail" -- but the OE mail is already archived. We are
just discussing how to organize and view some OE mail which is already
archived and sitting in a folder somewhere as .dbx compressed database
files..

is this the method of getting the folders from identity one to the mailbox

yes, what I meant was to store/save the mailbox list and contacts 'somewhere
else' and be able to retrieve them to read with oe or something else.

this method looks like I can save/store the complete folder list that is
stored in the folders.dbx file.

your explanation and links have cleared up a lot of things that were unclear
in my mind - most I already knew, but there were some bad holes in my
thinking - you fixed those.

Went to site - very educational and useful.

Question- in the section about registry keys, it mentions address book
registry key - a sub-key 'synchronization' that keeps track of WAB <->
hotmail address books.

I have hotmail address books that I do want to synchronize and there is
nothing listed under the synchronization key.

How do I synchronize these address books so I can use the hotmail address
book in oe? Sounds like a good idea.

How do I synchronize these address books so I can use the hotmail
address book in oe? Sounds like a good idea.

I don't use hotmail nor do I synchronize. I would have to figure it out
the same way you need to figure it out-- except that you want to do it
and I don't, so I suggest that you read the faq and experiment. Be
careful and don't break your registry without having it backed up.

<snip>
The Address Book registry key
|-HKEY_CURRENT_USER
|----Software
|-------Microsoft
|----------WAB

The first sub-key "Synchronization" keeps track of the last
synchronization between the WAB and a Hotmail address book on the
Hotmail server. You will see a sub-key for each Hotmail account in the
current Identity whose address book has been synchronized. The "WAB Sort
State" stores the sorting order you have established in the WAB. The
WAB4\LastFind sub-key stores the history for the Find People function.

The final key, "WAB4\Wab File Name", deserves special attention, as this
is where OE stores the path and file name for the *.wab file being used.
You can change the location of the WAB only by editing the path stored
here. (see also How to move your Address Book and Multiple WABs).

The Address Book key, like the *.wab file itself, is shared by all
Identities.

I would interpret that as meaning that the subkey synchronization

You will see a sub-key for each Hotmail account in the
current Identity whose address book has been synchronized.

And I would interpret /that/ as meaning that you won't see such a subkey
(yet) if there hasn't been synchronization (yet).
