Saving e-mail folders.
Saving e-mails has created a lot of responses, and thanks to all who over the months have come up with answers, and I've also seen replies to others on this subject.
What I would like to do is save a whole folder from my Windows Mail ( Outlook Express for Vista ) and I have yet to crack this one.
e.g. I have created a "Keep" folder in my list of folders, and occasionally transfer an e-mail that I consider important enough to keep for future reference, and my "Keep" folder now contains some 100+ e-mails that I would like to transfer to another medium, CD or USB stick etc. that will allow me to a) keep them for posterity, or b) use on another computer.
I've worked out how to send an individual e-mail to a word doc. file, which I can then transfer as required, but I'm not prepared to do that one by one for the 100+ that I now have, nor am I going to save individual e-mails as they arrive on the off chance that I might need them one day, some are clearly in that category as they arrive, but most assume that importance later, and it is only when I come to clear my Inbox from time to time that I decide to upgrade them to "Keep" status, hence my now busy "Keep" folder.
How can I transfer that "Keep" folder en masse in one hit ? I got close to it somehow recently, ( forgotten how now ! ) but when trying to re-read them they were all in machine code, not readable text.
Grrrr. !!
