Storing emails

[dx1xa]

I wish to store some of the emails I receive in a folder in my 'c' drive. Can I do that?

How do you access your email?

Online, web-based, like gmail or hotmail?

With outlook or similar, POP or IMAP?

Thanks fo3nix, i'll appreciate your help.
I read email through outlook and the service provider is ntl.

ok. i don't use outlook myself so can't offer too much help (I use thunderbird instead).

if you go into your account settings, there should be some option for an offline mode, so that your emails are stored offline. then they'll be stored in a set of files on your hard drive, as well as the email server.

Do you actually download you mails, or just view them on the server?

If you download, it's easy peasy. Create a folder for storing the mails, open the folder and minimise it. Then open outlook, select the mail(s) you want to save, and drag them down to the folder you created. The folder should then restore, drag them into the folder, and stop dragging. That's it.

Not though that you can only view them via your email programme, so if you want to view them any other way, use copy, and then paste into your chosen text format (Word or whatever).
