E mails

[shaking]

I have created a folder for some emails I wish to keep but don't know how to move them to my documents.I am using windows vista. Can anyone give me some instruction please.

Well what I do (not sure if it is the best solution but it works for me).

For important emails I wish to keep I copy and paste them into either Word (if they are "fancy" emails with color and icons) or into Notepad (if they are just plain text).

I then know I have a copy of the email if the original email ever gets deleted by mistake.

In fact I often do this so I can clear out "old" emails that are just cluttering up my email system, particularly for things I may have bought over the internet so I have a record of them.

I then keep the word or notepad documents in their respective folders (amazon, ebuyer etc) so they are easy to find.

Also, that way they get backed up to CD when I do my regular backups.

Thanks VHG, I can do that. I am a bit of a thicky with technology. Thanks for your help.

if it's a mail client like outlook or windows mail you can just drag the email from the mail client into the folder you've created.

ChuckFickens I know you are a genius with computers but I don't understand. All I want to do is move the folder from my email box into documents. As VHG says I can cut copy and paste but this will take me ages as i have about 50 emails in the folder I have created.

It's ok I have fathomed it out but the mail has ended up in 'pictures' At least I know where to look!!!
Thanks very much.

In yahoo mail, you can move any email to a folder.
This has come in very handy for me, for saving stuff that I need, especially software that I`ve bought, when they email the registration key.
I`ve even emailed, to myself, important stuff that I want to save, then moved it to a folder.
It`s as good, if not better than backing up.
If I format the hard drive and reinstall windows, I only need to go into yahoo mail to find all sorts of important info.
