> How can someone save old systems of email and keep it all accessible (as back files, etc.)? Also, is it possible to reaccess old systems such as Outlook Express? I have years of old correspondence I cannot get to anymore.

That's a tall order, but the good news is you're not alone. Google (or whatever search you prefer) is your friend. Search the reputable tech websites that have answers to forum/community questions. They're out there.

Thx. It is a tall order. But also it is a question of historical significance - will all the vast records (not mine, but writers, artists, politicos, et al) just disappear?

Imagine a historian unable to review the correspondence of Churchill and others ….
