Outlook Express [save email files to another folder not in OE?]

Is there a way to save email files to another folder, other than one in OE itself? I have a lot of emails from old shipmates when I was in the service, and would like to save them to CD, DVD or other drives. Hope that someone can help me.

 

Hi Dakota,
hope this Idea works for you, it has for me, I have a folder in my docs, or you can put it anywhere that's safer, called emails, you can set up sub-folders for different senders then drag and drop the email to that folder, it comes in handy when your system crashes & you want a backup, when you open any of the emails in the folder they open in outlook as normal

Also look at Christer's sticky post at the start of the xp section

Thanks Jac, now is there any way of converting those .eml files to .doc or .pdf?

 

Not To Sure

you can save them as a text file from there I'm not sure,
in OE; click file, save as, in the "save as type" dialogue; select "option?? "

apart from that, I will leave it to the more knowledgable than myself to help you out, but I will be watching to see what can be done
