Dear Group, What with all of the wonderful messages that I've received over the past number of months, I've found that I just can't bring myself to delete any of them. As a result, they're still on my computer taking up a LOT of space. What I want to do is to copy all of the messages in all of my folders and save them onto a ZIP disk. That way I could delete all but the most recent ones and free up a bunch of megabytes. This evening I was able to at least find where the individual folders (where I file my email messages) on my C drive and I was hoping that I could just copy the contents of the files onto a ZIP disk. Well, I found them in C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook Express but all of the folders have the extention .DBX and I can't access them into a word processing program so that I can read them. I use Microsoft Outlook Express as my email program(?) and if any of you have had any success in copying onto disk the whole lot, I'd appreciate some advice. Yes, I know that I could cut and paste each and every email into a word processing program but even if I had all the time in the world to go through each and every one, all that I've been able to manage to do is select only the body of the message, which doesn't include who it was from nor the date. Help???? vee
