OEFB has expanded to include some additional features. While it is still a basic backup program, like the original version, it is useful for maintaining Outlook Express message stores and registry entries. It's appearance is not one that is "pretty", far from that, it's idea was to provide the utilities for a simple backup program and forget the idea of being pretty. So, please forgive it's ugliness, maybe one day I'll do a make over of it but that's not in the foreseeable future.

Quick overview of features:

* Quick backup of current selected Identity.
* Quick backup of all Identities.
* Show the path list to the select message store (DBX files).
* Show the path list to the Address Book
* Search for DBX, IDX, MBX, WAB and WA~ files used by Outlook Express.
* Generate a text or HTML report of Identities and files.
* Easy change of Address Books and have multiple Address Books available.
* Backup and restore of Address Book file
* Backup and restore of DBX, IDX, MBX files used by Outlook Express 4, 5 and 6.
* Backup and restore of registry entries.
* Change the {USER_ID} of a registry file to another.
* Change the username of a selected Identity.
* Create a new Identity.
* Clone an Identity for use on the same computer.
* Remove an Identity.

Combination of some of these features can allow a user to copy and Identity from one computer to be placed on another computer.

While Outlook Express 4 is not supported, the ability to search for those message stores used (IDX/MBX) files can be done, backed up but not restored. This limited use is included to allow the user to find these files so they may be imported in to Outlook Express 5 or 6.
