When manually archiving messages from MSN to local folders you sellect a
group of emails and it stops because on some emails we get a "message
cannot be displayed" error. This stops the process and you have to start
all over again. Is there a way to get past this. This could take forever.

Yes, we deleted messages with pictures using hotmail then we deleted the
account in OE and set it up again and it started downloading it down
loaded maybe as many as 67,000 emails for about 12 hours over a very
fast broadband connection. I think we ran out of RAM restarted and it
seems to be ok and finished downloading. Manual archiving to personal
folders has been very tedous and slow in the past. We are probably
going to go to a paid yahoo us pop account. I suspect that co.uk will
throw all the primative users. Thanks a bunch for your help.

We have had an MSN email account for years. We get several hundred
emails from newsgroups per day that we want to save on the hard
drive. Our pop3 service stopped working serval months ago and tech
support switched us to web based email. We have been up the creek
ever since. Our email has been over the limit for 2 or 3 months.
The problem is there is no way other than to manually archive these
emails. There are about 41,000 in the inbox. We are looking for
ways to keep the msn account. On solution I dug up is a program
called web2pop.
With pop3 we could use rules to archive on the hard drive. Any
suggestions? MSN support told me to try OE support so that's why
I'm here.
