I want to take several folders out of my OE program.
Each has several messages in them, some with and some w/o attachments.
So far I was able to "save as" one message at a time.
Is there a way to do the same with a full folder, to save time?
This has to be in a way that I can delete those folders from the OE program
but keep them in My Doc's to retrieve later.

It is going to take me longer to write this then to actually do it.

Create your folder in My Documents, drag it to the far right side of
the screen, open Outlook Express and resize the screen so you an see your
created folder, select the first message you want, scroll to the last
message and hold down shift key while clicking it, all messages in-between
will highlight, hold down the left mouse button and drag highlighted
messages to created folder. This will copy all selected messages into
created folder, they will have .eml extension

To select individual messages hold the ctrl key down when selecting each
message.

It is really easy!
I have tried dragging messages but it did not work.
But have not thought of putting new folder on the desktop.
Thank you Ken.
