    OE doesn't have an archive function.

    You can however create additional folders and drag/move/copy mail to them.

    That's what I do. Drag/copy messages to a CD/DVD/Floppy or external drive and then drag/copy them back when needed. Simple and works. ;)

    w. young--It depends what you mean by archive. If you want to save a message so you can read it, then as has been said, you do File|Save As and save as an .eml file.
    If however you want to save for the purpose of transferring to another PC or reinstalling within OE in the event of a mishap, then you have to use a different technique.
    I think OEBackup as suggested by Rod will do the second job. The official MS method is
