Copying emails to a floppy or cd.

[Roland]

JohnMc

Thanks for you reply. I have not saved any of the emails
to a folder. I want to copy them direct from the inbox
to a floppy or cd. Also, I have just started using
Windows XP and do not know much about it. When you say
dragging, it does not make sense to me. Can you simplify
how to do this.

your instructions. I have not save any of my emails and
want copy them all at once to a floppy or cd so I can
then copy them to another computer. Is there a way I can
do this and in a way I can understand that is simple?

How to do so depends on what program you use for E-mail.

Click on edit in the top menu/ Click on select all - (Now all your messeages
should be highlighted. Click on edit again in the top menu and select copy.
Open up your floppy drive and click edit in the top menu and select paste.

All your emails ARE saved to a folder on your machine unless you are
using something like Hotmail. In Oe go to Tools-Options-Maintenance-
Store Folder and that will tell you where your mails are stored. Just
copy the files in that location to a CD (you won't get them on a floppy
anyway!). Make sure that you copy the file called Folders.dbx, because
if you don't, you won't be able to re-impost them if you need to.

Another way is to use the "Save as..." button in the toolbar of the message
window which allows for where to save, file name, and one of three formats.
For CD burning, it may be easier to first save to a separate folder which
your burning software can locate.
