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?
