|
| 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:

|
| Note the following and that you can have as many folders you want to
save
| mail in. You don't have to use only one.
|
| General precautions for Outlook Express:
|
| Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become
| corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and move
your
| mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user created
| folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible.
|
| After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while
| working *offline* and do it often.
|
| Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
| open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
| Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything
until
| the compacting is completed.
|
| Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer
| of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems such
as
| time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will
| continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:
| http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3
|
| In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background
and
| leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}.
|
| And backup often.
