Re: HOW CAN SOMEONE SAVE (or backup) THE E-MAILS FROM OUTLOOK INTO

To backup messages to a readable CD:

Create a folder on your Desktop, then in Outlook Express open the folder with the messages you want to save. Highlight one message, then Ctrl+A will highlight them all, (or hold the Ctrl button down while you select only the messages you want), Now, drag and drop them to the folder on your Desktop. (Easiest if the folder shortcut is on the Taskbar).

Now you can copy that folder to a CD and you will be able to read the messages on the CD by double-clicking on them.

The downside of this is that messages that have the same subject will be overwritten. To avoid this, purchase:

Easy way...

1. Open OE
2. Select (highlight) what you want to save. Ctrl + A selects all
3. Drag the lot to a folder, You can then Burn that folder or its contents
to a CD
I burn CD/DVD's all the time. I even have the equipment to, and do, transfer
my video tapes to DVD so it's not like I'm unfamiliar with burning. For some
reason I can not get this 'Easy Way' to work with trying to save my messages.
I would love to be able to get this to work because I'm trying to get my
messages off of my hard drive. If anyone knows how I can accomplish this or
what the problem could be, since I'm not able to get this to work, please let
me know. I have some messages from a relative who is now deceased and I DO
NOT want to lose her messages. I am desperate to get these messages saved.
Thanks for any help I can get with this.
