This is probably the best solution, thank you.

You're welcome. If you decide to use yahoo, be sure and activate POP3 at
the Yahoo mail web interface or it won't work.

everyone I know.

So is there anyone that will reply here?

My Hotmail Plus account is getting full and I need to
transfer some files out of my inbox to somewhere else.

Last two times I moved files to another folder, OE marked all the letters
as
unread and "0KB" for a file size for each and every letter making it
necessary to reopen them all, waiting as each one downloaded, etc.

For the record, is there a way to take files out of Hotmail and store
them
in a way that will make room for more storage? And do it without closing
all the mail?

Thanks. This newsgroup has been a source of great help to me over the
years
and I thank those of you that have given your time to helping clueless
guys
like me.

I have no idea how to help you except to say use something else besides
Hotmail. Any Yahoo domain besides yahoo.ca or yahoo.com can be used in OE
and doesn't cause the kind of problems Hotmail causes. One would think
that Microsoft's Hotmail would work with Microsoft's Outlook Express but,
being as Microsoft merely bought Hotmail and didn't create it or try to
improve it, it's really no surprise.

I'm sure this wasn't the reply you wanted but the only time I've ever had
problems with Outlook Express was the two days I put Hotmail on it and I
see a lot of posts in this newsgroup with Hotmail problems, hence, the
above suggestion.

I'm assuming that Hotmail Plus is rather like just plain ole Hotmail.
(not always a good thing to "assume") lol

If you use OE, why not just send those emails you wish to retain to your
"other address"? Send them to yourself. That way you will make "more
room" in your Hotmail acct. I do this if I want to "SAVE" an email from
my online Hotmail Acct to my OE program.

If this is not the correct answer you're looking for, please forgive.
