Outlook Express email

I looked through several forums and couldn't find an answer--how can I save my sent and received email to disc. I tried to select all in my "sent" file and the "save as" was grayed out--same with my inbox. Any suggestions? I'll appreciate any help.

 

When you have the email opened, go to file, save as save the file with an .eml extension.
Save them to a folder on your hard drive and then burn that folder to a disk.

 

Thanks --is it possible to save a bunch at the same time instead of having to do each one separately? I appreciate the quick response to my first question!!!!

 

Create a new folder on your desktop. Open OE and make the window smaller so you can see the folder on your desktop. Then open the folder in OE that contains the mail you want to save. Click on the first message and hold your shift key down and click on the last. This should select the first, last and everything in between. Then right click on the selection and hold your mouse button down and drag the selection to the folder on your desktop. When you let go a menu will pop up. Choose copy here.

 

Thanks so much! I'll give it a try. Will let you know.

 

Oh, boy.....feel kinda foolish here but how do I make my OE window smaller? I can't seem to find a way....thanks once more!!!

 

On the title bar at the top of the window you will see a little box between the - and the X. If you click this it should make the window smaller. You might also have to place your cursor on the edge of your window until it turns into a double arrow. When it does, hold your mouse button down and drag the window until it is smaller. Do this on both sides, top and bottom.

 

Wow.......I thank you sooooo much...thanks for staying with me...sure do appreciate it......this forum is so great thanks to people like you!

 

Your very welcome.
