FAO Albags (Copying Emails to disc)

[anotheoldgit]

Hi Albags

I did what you advised but it informed me that it could not copy these three files for some reason.
FOLDERS
IN BOX
OFF LINE.

However it did copy on my CD-R disc the following:
Deleted Items
Drafts
Folders
In Box
Off Line
Out box
Send Items
Spam Killer
Zone Alarm Challeng..
Zone Alarm Junk Mail
Zone Alarm Phishing

But when I tried to open any of these files, It told me Windows cannot open file, and asked me what programme created it, and do I want to go on line to find the appropriate file or select one from list.

Help, any ideas Albags?

Yes .. What you copied is an exact clone of what you see in OExpress at the time. If you were to lose everything and had these folders, you could place these into the original location and restore everything as it was.

If you want to copy 'individual' emails to disc .. you have to open the email .. .then File/SaveAs .eml
Then collect them up and burn them anywhere.

Thanks once again, so there is no quick method then, only to make a file, and then copy to that file each individual text message?
