How do I archive mail from Outlook Express on a separate disc so that I can retrieve it later?
Abe Kravitz, New York
This technique works in both Outlook and Outlook Express: Open Windows Explorer and create a new folder, whether on your hard drive, a network, or a CD-R disc. Now open your mail client and select the messages you want to archive, or choose a folder and press Ctrl-A to archive everything in it. Drag the messages out of your e-mail program and into the folder you just created in Explorer. Each message becomes either an .eml (Internet E-Mail Message) file or an .msg (Outlook Item) file, depending on your e-mail client. In your e-mail program, press Delete to get rid of the messages, or select the folder and delete that.
To access an archived message, double-click the message file or drag it from the archive folder into a mail folder.
