Pros: When migrating to a new machine moving Outlook and the archive mails could be quite a hassle. What with so many details to be taken care of and ensure they are recreated in the new machine exactly. Things like identities, email messages, email account settings, message rules, the address book, list of blocked senders, signatures and settings as well favorites, Windows address book and My Documents contents need to be taken care of. You could archive all the data and write the same in encrypted form into a CD for a easy transfer to the new machine. Easy Backup for Outlook Express has support for multiple user accounts and identities. Data can not only be moved between identities of the same user, but also between different user accounts and computers. Each user profile can create an independent CD back up and get the transfer done quite easily.. Backups can be stored in a folder of your hard disk, put on CD, DVD or removable devices just by using standard Windows features. The program is very easy to use, a very simple interface is provided. Back up, restore, delete, explore and options are the buttons available on the interface screen. Back up and restore features between them provide the main functionality. On the back up page, setting identity specifies that data related to that identity only be back up. Explore lets users specify suitable file/folders when required; such as a file to restore from or to create back up file in a specifically named file and folder. Option button lets you set if you need encryption as also to set password protection to the files.

Cons: No problematic issues found here.

Overall very simple program that does the job well and is easy to use. This is certainly a 3 star package.
