I save E-mail all the time and I have tons saved for [FO] Now I would like to put it all on a "CD" to save, I already have 106 for August Yes I know there are archives but I sure would like to do this while I am still young any help ? SANDRA TYLER DUNCAN Sacramento,CA http://www.gencircles.com/users/purplevw1/1/ http://www.progenealogists.com/genealogysleuthb.htm all my mail scanned by Norton Below is the only place that will accept attachments [email protected]

You did not say how you had been saving the e-mail messages. Are they still in your inbox in Outlook Express? Or, do you use the "File", "Save As" to save them as individual messages? I set up a "Message Rule" to move mail when the subject line contains "[FO]" to special FOW folder for email. When you search for it, you will find that it is really one file, rather than a folder with individual files for each message. FOW.DBX seems to reside in "C:\Windows\Application Data\Identities\{some long number code}\Microsoft\Outlook Express\" along with the inbox, drafts, outbox and any other folders you have for email. You can copy the entire "Outlook Express" folder to the CD, or only the boxes you want. I would suggest copying them to a temporary folder on the hard drive first, where you can rename them, perhaps appending the current date to the folder or filename so that they can be identified later. You can get copies of the archives sent to you as digests, no attachments this way, by sending an email to the following address, subject "archive" and only the lines "get volume02/1", where "02" is the year, and the number after the "/" is the number. number 1 would be the first one for the year and the latest one is about 221. You can order multiple digest as the example below shows, each one comes as a separate email message. The advantage to these is that you can cut and paste several messages at a time to Word or something and save them in a format that you do not need Outlook Express to read.

Well I am a very bad girl, I have mailboxes for [FO] And August already has 114 messages in it. Someone told me to save the whole .dbx file but I tried a test and no matter what format I choose I am unable to read a single thing,I am very envious of anyone who can just delete the whole "SENT" mail box... Instinctively I know there is a way to save this to get the extra stuff out of Outlook Express,I even highlighted 56 messages at once and forwarded them to myself with this subject [FO] Forwarded 56 messages and I can still go to that single message and see whatever one I desire.I have not set up [FO] to go to it's own folder I want to read each and every one a they come in I cannot believe it 62 years old, 32 years genealogy,. 10 years Internet and from [FO] I am still learning the most every day. So if I do a "SAVE AS" will that be a more efficient way to save all desired messages? I am in serious need of help please ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alfred Eller" <[email protected]> To: "Sandra E. T.
