If you just want to back them up so you can put them back on OE should
something happen, then see this.

Thanks Bruce:
As you can see I'm still trying to get this mess resolved. I will get back
to uninstalling the programs you told me too yesterday once I backup my
messages. I will probably be working on this for days but I'm determined
to
get it done. Your quick help is appreciated.

To backup messages to a readable CD:

Create a folder on your Desktop, then in Outlook Express open the folder
with the messages you want to save. Highlight one message, then Ctrl+A
will
highlight them all, (or hold the Ctrl button down while you select only
the
messages you want), Now, drag and drop them to the folder on your
Desktop.
(Easiest if the folder shortcut is on the Taskbar).

Now you can copy that folder to a CD and you will be able to read the
messages on the CD by double-clicking on them.

The downside of this is that messages that have the same subject will be
overwritten. To avoid this, purchase:

Easy way...

1. Open OE
2. Select (highlight) what you want to save. Ctrl + A selects all
3. Drag the lot to a folder, You can then Burn that folder or its
contents
to a CD
I burn CD/DVD's all the time. I even have the equipment to, and do,
transfer
my video tapes to DVD so it's not like I'm unfamiliar with burning. For
some
reason I can not get this 'Easy Way' to work with trying to save my
messages.
I would love to be able to get this to work because I'm trying to get
my
messages off of my hard drive. If anyone knows how I can accomplish
this
or
what the problem could be, since I'm not able to get this to work,
please
let
me know. I have some messages from a relative who is now deceased and I
DO
NOT want to lose her messages. I am desperate to get these messages
saved.
Thanks for any help I can get with this.

Thanks in advance!
