![]() "cleabn21" wrote in message ... "PA Bear [MS MVP]" bl... Then you have two options: 1. Drag individual messages (EML files) from OE to the Windows folder. Double-click on an EML file to open it in OE. Drawback: All messages in a "conversation" will have the same name. 2. Move all of the messages you want to archive to a new OE folder you created for this purpose; let's say you name the folder, e.g., "MessagesFromMom". 3. Create a new identity (File | Identities | Add new identity). 4. Import the DBX file associated with the folder you created in #2 above (e.g., MessagesFromMom.dbx) into the new identity. ================================= General OE Caveats: - Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local folders created for this purpose. - Empty Deleted Items folder daily. - Disable Background Compacting [removed in WinXP SP2] and frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm - WinXP SP2 only: Do not cancel Automatic Compacting, should it occur, and do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic Compacting is taking place. - Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It can cause corruption (i.e., loss of messages), it provides no additional protection, and even Symantec says it's not necessary: QP Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have the most recent virus definitions. /QP http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...02111812533106 -- ~PA Bear johnnie2130 wrote: I want to be able to open them later if I choose to for old times sake although that likely wouldn't be very often.

I'm think they're bogging down my OE and causing it to lock up or run slow. How do I save e-mails from OE 6 folders to my hard drive or another location? I created a folder in "My Documents" to save them there. That's works fine until I try to save two e-mails with the same title (example: Re ![]() overright which I don't. How can I move my e-mails and save all of the ones I want to? Any help is appreciated. |
