Q:
Is there an easy way to save my
old emails?
A:
You must mean, as opposed to the
time consuming method of opening
each one and choosing "Save as"
and sending it to a folder. For
those Outlook Express
users it's as easy as draggin'
and droppin'.
Here's what you do:
1. Make your Outlook Express
(OE) window size smaller by
clicking the
middle button in the upper
right-hand corner.

If this doesn't make the window
smaller, then click the triangle
in the lower right hand corner
and drag upward so you can see
some desktop space

2. Create a folder on your
desktop by right-clicking a
blank area and selecting
New / Folder. Name it
"Email". You could also create
several folders if you want to
organize your emails. Put the
folder(s) where you can see it.
3. Now it's time to select the
email you want saved. If you
want all of them, then just use
CTRL+A. For
selecting some email, hold down
the "Alt" key while clicking the
ones you want.
4. After selecting, left-click a
highlighted area and drag over
to the Email folder. When you
see the "+" appear, release the
mouse button. You have
successfully copied those emails
to the folder.

Now that your email is
transferred, you can delete it
from OE if you want. You can
save it to a disk from here.
Now wasn't that easier?
