MSN OUTLOOK EXPRESS POP3
 

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.

Why are you getting emails from a newsgroup?
Newsgroup messages are kept on a newsgroup server.
The messages should be viewed with a newsgroup reader.

This is my wifes computer and email. She moderates 2 Yahoo groups and reviews
posts from 12 other groups. By selecting the option of sending all posts to
her email she can review everything in one place. This is a quicker way of
dealing with several hunded post a day. This worked great until MSN swiched
to web based email. OE could sort and archive everything. If a news reader is
the only option with MSN then we might try it. But I think she would prefer
to have a new pop email so that we can go back to OE.

You wife is subscribed to no news groups but to email groups. If MSN
will allow forwarding, open a Yahoo account from yahoo.co.uk and
configure it for OE. Then go to the MSN web account and configure it to
forward all emails to the Yahoo account. Note that the Yahoo account
will not work in OE unless you activate it on the web. Also note that
yahoo.com will not allow pop3 in OE without paying, which is the reason
I recommend opening one at yahoo.co.uk which does allow this for free.

OE also is a newsreader.
That is how I access this and other newsgroups.

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.

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.

...Manual archiving to personal folders has been very tedous and slow in

It needn't be:

1a. Create the Local folder(s) to be used to archive the messages.

1b. Enable Folder List (View Layout).

2. Open the Hotmail folder (e.g., Hotmail Inbox) Select any email header
CTRL+A Drag all of the now-highlighted messages to the Local folder in
Folder list.

3. Repeat for other Hotmail folders, if necessarry.

4. Follow up by compacting all OE folders
(http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm#compact).

NB: In essence, you're dragging Copies of the messages to the Local folder,
such that the original messages will then be moved to Hotmail Deleted Items
folder.

General OE Caveats:

- Don't use (the local folders) Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages.
Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm.

- Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if
Automatic Compacting is taking place (WinXP SP2 only).

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
