I suppose you could set up a Hotmail account and send all the emails there.
Don't know what to do about the Bookmarks though.

Tatty, I am currently with Tiscali and intend to switch over to BT. When I called Tiscali to ask them for a MAC code the guy told me once I move over to another provider I will lose my email account and I had better back up my emails or I will lose them too. I have no idea if he was telling me the right thing or not, I just can not afford to lose all my emails and don’t fancy saving them either. I was hoping someone here could tell me how to do the backing up. I have already managed to save my address book but no idea how to do the favourites or emails.

you obviously have a tiscali email addie? you could save them to file, and you said saved your contacts so thats good.
but. i would get a new email provider now, and forward all your fav,mails to there, so get say hotmail, i use that i love it! and its live if you like i can send you a PM with what you need to do and links, let me know, and i will do it tomorrow, no problem.

In Outlook you can import your e-mails can't you? You can also keep your old e-mail address if you want - just set up another account in Outlook with the original details. I would back everything up first though.

Blue Diamond I don't understand, if all your emails are kept in Outlook Express, ie In Box and Sent items they will still be there regardless of who your service provider is. When you get a new email address you just add it your account in Outlook. Your service provider does not own Outlook, you do, it came with your computer.

Thanks Essex Angel, I have set up outlook express to receive my emails even though I can still access them through Tiscali’s website. Are you saying despite the change of Internet provider and losing my email account I would still be keeping my emails because they are in outlook Express? If that is the case I needn't worry then.

Thats right Blue, once you have received or sent an email from Outlook Express only you can delete them. Servers can delete emails held on their sites but to delete from Outlook or Outlook Express once you've received, they would need to be sitting at your computer.
