Another good way to save your email (as well as message rules, signatures, etc.) is with a jewel of a program called Express Assist (from AJ Systems)  http://ajsystems.com/.  You can restore all or a few selected messages to OE or just view/print/save-as-text without having to restore them to OE.  As the backups accumulate, I stack them on a DVD, so I always have every email message "just in case" (paranoid that I am).   This software does much more also.  It will completely transfer and set up your internet and email on a new or reformatted PC with the click of a button.  Check it out.      --AnnaSummers

Hi:
Could someone please explain the steps involved in saving emails from Outlook Express in a folderin My Documents?  I also have too many messages in my Inbox and other folders and need to compact them quite often.
Thanks in advance.
