mtweidmann Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 Simply copy the "/home/<user>/Mail/" directory and then copy it back again after you've re-installed your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willisoften Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 I usually just save the Mail folder in home. I take the whole thing and burn it to cd. Or if you want you can save the important messages as text files. Into another folder in home and just back those up. Though in the future you'll have to view them as text files. Or you can compress the Mail folder and gunzip it if it's huge: tar czvf MyNewBackUp.tar.gz Mail roughly translated thats make a gunzipped tar archive from the folder Mail If your reinstalling you don't have to format home anyway, providing you created a home partiton the last time you installed.
