I use a programme called abf outlook express backup, to back up all my e-mails, settings, favourites and rules etc.

But after having installed sp3 it no longer works.

I have contacted them and they suggested getting the latest version, I did, but still the same.

Looks like sp3 is coming off my pc, it may mean that I wont get any more updates from MS, but what the heck. As long as I can back up my stuff, I am not too worried
