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.

I -think- you can auto-forward the webmail e-mails, can you not?
Just have them autorwarded to the OE accounts should work? I
have Verizon and Yahoo, not MS, but I"ve been told you can do
that in msn, same as at Yahoo.
Or do I misunderstand you?

Can you access/are you accessing the account in OE currently?

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.
