Hello,
I have a backup program that is not finding Windows Mail files.
What is the file extension for Windows Mail and where does it reside please.
TIA

It's mostly .eml, but also .email. It also uses .nws and a few more
extensions
for news and index files.

To find them, click on Tools, then Options, then Advanced, then Maintenance,
then Store Folder, and it will tell you what directory it uses for this.
Click on
Cancel, then Close, then Cancel again.

If you want to back up the email, I suggest you back up the entire
directory,
not just one file extension from it.

Thank you very much Robert Miles.
