I want to reinstall Windows Xp soon, as I got a virus and after cleaning the computer doesn't work as smooth as before. I gives some strange erros and sometimes it justs hangs up... I want to backup Outlook Express emails and settings before reinstall, and restore afterwards. Any help? :)

I'm not sure on the settings... but your folders and emails will be in C:\Documents and Settings\account name\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities. If you're not sure, do a search for .dbx files.

Thank you for your suggestions. I also found Outlook Express Backup Genie http://www.amicutilities.com/outlook-express-backup which does the job right and fast. I will try them out more and then buy one!
