Thanks for all the information from all you kind folks, most of the emails I saved , pertained to my genealogy in some way, a name I wanted to see if it connected to any of my families or some thing I wanted more time to study it out, and see if I could put is with any of my searches, I can read them in the documents folder,but find I don't use that as often as I would if it were still in a subfolder in Outlook Express, however, I need to go through all those folders in the document folder and clean those too. Maybe some day before I have a big crash I will get that done. Peggy in Texas
