While all the Fleet members are discussing the things
that most people use that should get backed up, I thought I would
provide some links to how to back up other things that a lot of people
use, but aren’t as well-known. Things like other e-mail clients than
Outlook or Outlook Express, your favorite IM programs, even Linux.
Here are instructions to backup several other e-mail clients.

AIM, the newest versions of ICQ, MSN and Yahoo all store your
contacts on its servers, not just on the local machine. This means that
when you reinstall the IM program, you sign up again with your
old ID, and your contacts are pulled from the client’s server. Here is
the manual way of backing up your ICQ contacts and history.
