| could I do a copy of the Local Folders onto my

|
| No.
|
| That is why I said create a folder on the external
| drive and drag saved flw
| up's into the folder.
|
| You can create as many folders as you want.
|
| With a few clicks you can select every message or
| selected messages in
| Outlook Express and drag the bunch of them into
| your created folder.
|
| It is going to take me longer to write this then
| to actually do it.
|
| Create your folder on the external drive, drag it
| to the far right side of
| the screen, open Outlook Express and resize the
| screen so you an see your
| created folder, select the first message you want,
| scroll to the last
| message and hold down shift key while clicking it,
| all messages in-between
| will highlight, hold down the left mouse button
| and drag highlighted
| messages to created folder. This will copy all
| selected messages into
| created folder, they will have .eml extension
|
| To select individual messages hold the ctrl key
| down when selecting each
| message.
|
| What program would I use to read these msg's
| on hard drive with ?
|
| When you double click a message in created folder
| it should open in whatever
| program the person uses for their default email
| program. If you have your
| external drive plugged into a computer and their
| default email program is
| Outlook
| Express the message will open in Outlook Express.
|
| And as Ron said you can use Notepad to open the
| messages.
|
| Note: When viewing messages in created folder, I
| would choose View, on it's
| menu choose Detail or List.

| | | I travel quite a bit and would prefer not to
| | take
| | | my laptop all the time. I've got an External
| | | Hard drive that I keep all my stuff on and
| it's
| | | convenient to just take it along and plug into
| | | someone else's laptop where I'm at.
| | |
| | | The only drawback is that I don't have my
| | e-mails
| | | that I have saved for flw up's, etc. Would be
| | | nice
| | | if I could somehow use my Outlook Express from
| | | my External HD rather than the laptop's HD.
| | |
| | | Any ideas???? Thanks !
