It is really easy!
I have tried dragging messages but it did not work.
But have not thought of putting new folder on the desktop.
Thank you Ken.

It is going to take me longer to write this then to actually do it.

Create your folder in My Documents, 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.
