Keeping a record of old email before deleting.
A pal want's to rid his computer of emails. I explained they are stored elsewhere, so he now wants to make a record of the total contents.
I know of no software to do this. Anyone have an answer?

What will he do with them? He lives on a boat, so I imagine, forget where he put them. He has a brain that multi-tasks, even when he doesn't want it to. It's only because I've known him most of his life that I can understand him.
mixture, thanks, I'll give that a look soonest.
He has a Celeron with Norton installed, so an uphill battle.

Just Google "Emails back up"
if it is something like Outlook, Thunderbird or Live Mail it's on his computer - I just backed up a 30 GB file of Livemails
If its web based (eg Yahoo) he's out of luck

- and with Gmail you can download all of your emails in an mbox format.
But since it's apparently all a great secret what this friend is using for email, it's a bit difficult to give any specific advice. So how about this: Print all the emails and have a good old fashioned hardcopy of them. Seems to be the right level of technology.

Hee hee . . . funnily, despite being nearly as old as me he's still wet-arse sailing - not in the boat that's become his office I hasten to add.
Thanks for the advice chaps. I was totally unaware of these major differences in Mail providers.
BTW, I'll pop over to JB with some pictures of the computerized dream machine that is our new lifeboat. Fantastic display of handling the other day.

KBPsen, I'm entirely confident Lt Data is waaaay ahead of that simplistic mortal being.
