Tree Diamond Enthusiast	Posted Apparently, there's a way to save your email to a folder on your hard drive, without the need of copying and pasting. Anyone know how it's done? Thank you!

Tree Diamond Enthusiast	Posted Hide Post Duh! Yes Dwight, I use Outlook Express. I created a new file named "email" and saved one there. It worked perfectly. Now, I just want to know if there's a way to select several at a time to save to this new file....? Thank you too, Georgia.

Georgia85 Diamond Enthusiast	Posted Hide Post Dwight, correct me if I'm wrong but can't you set up Outlook to autoarchive all your messages to your hard-drive? We do that at work. Or is that only possible if you are going through a network? And you are welcome Tree. Dwight and I apparently started posting at the same time but he just finished before me. He covered Outlook, I covered web-based. Thought that was kinda funny.

Dwight Diamond Enthusiast Enthusiast of the Year, 2006 & 2009	Posted Hide Post Outlook does the auto-archive, but Outlook Express does not. There is a way (in Outlook Express) to save your messages into a backup file (Tools/Maintenance/Store Folder button), but the link provided by Bazcaz is better, I think. Tree, to the best of my knowledge, messages would have to be saved one-by-one. Dwight

donaldekliros Diamond Enthusiast	Posted Hide Post Tree & to all of you who are interested: I drag all of my e-mail messages from the E-Mail folder to a new folder that I generate on my Desktoo. Then I rename the folder to a name of my choice. Been doing this for some time.

Tree Diamond Enthusiast	Posted Hide Post VERY interesting, donald! Thank you for that! I like it! Dwight, your method worked just fine for me last night, but when I tried it at work today (on our network) I wasn't as successful! I have NT at work, if it makes a difference!

Posted Hide Post Sorry, but not being able to edit my post forces me to add on.... The suggestions from Dwight and Donald are GREAT! They work perfectly on my home computer! The problem is - we need a way to do this at my work - to try to save emails to a shared drive. Don't ask me why! It seems easier to merely forward the email, but for some reason, they want to to implement this new method! If you have any ideas, please let me know. AND - thank you all again!

Tree Diamond Enthusiast	Posted Hide Post Thanks, Don! I'll ask him. I wanted to steal some knowledge in this forum and THEN pretend that I was sooooo brilliant!

Posted Hide Post Tree: We all need a little help when it comes to intelligence. I learned a long time ago that: The only dumb questions were those that were never asked. When you ask the question of your Network Administrator, then the next time you will have the answer yourself. That is, provided that you collect all these pieces of data in your little collection tray, so that you have it the next time you need it. Don
