Outlook/email help
 

I've got an email folder (on a particular client matter) with hundreds of emails on it. How can I copy these onto a disc?

What I always do is 1) expand the folder to view all messages, 2) select all messages: select first one, shift+click the last one, 3) open another directory where you want them copied 4) drag and drop!

These will .msg files that will open with Outlook or Outlook Express.

Thanks, Flint. I guess I've got someone to show me how to export into a .pst file. A bit cumbersome.

I'm just sayin', drag-and-drop is nice and easy...

let me try it

huh. That actually does work. I wonder why it copies the emails instead of moving them completely?

Do you want them gone from Outlook? Right after you move them, before you do anything else, the exact emails you copied are still highlighted in Outlook. Confirm that you have them in the new location, and you can Delete the whole highlighted batch from Outlook. Depending on your Outlook settings, they probably still aren't "deleted" but just in the "deleted" folder.
