Save all messages in a folder in a single text file
Using OE6 in WinXP. All updates etc in place.
I have a folder called "2002 saved" and there are 190 (text, not binary and not HTML) messages in it. I want to save all of these messages in a single text file on my hard disk. How do I do it? By the way, when I try the export function I get this error message: quote The export could not be performed. An error occurred while initializing MAPI. /quote In any case I don't think the export function is what I really want because OE says that the messages will be exported to Outlook or Microsoft Exchange--neither of which I have nor want. How do I save all 190 messages in a single text file? -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com |

Ctrl-A Message | Combine and Decode -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com That works... sort of. Unfortunately it trounces all of the date, "To:", and subject line info. Is there no way to preserve that? -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com |

Use DBXtract to extract them to an empty Windows folder and then use any
ordinary way to combine them, like copy *.eml 2002.txt -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM http://www.fjsmjs.com "Opinicus" wrote in message ... Select one.

Save all messages in a folder in a single text file
How about a single *folder*? Would that be any good?
One way to save an entire folder to your HDD quickly is this. You can store them any place you want, but I'll use the Desktop as an example. Right click on the Desktop | New | Folder. Create as many as needed, and for now, put them on the left side of the Desktop. Open OE and drag the window to the right enough to see the folder you created on the Desktop. Open the folder in OE and click on one message. Ctrl+A will highlight them all. Left click on the messages and drag them to the folder on the Desktop. You can also be selective by holding the Ctrl key and just highlight certain messages and then drag them to the folder on the Desktop. Once you confirm they are in these folders, you can delete them from OE if you wish, and follow up with a Compact All Folders. 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. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Opinicus" wrote in message ... Using OE6 in WinXP. All updates etc in place.

I've now managed to get five years' worth of sent messages out of OE's message store. -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com |
