  Hello Linda,

  It is easy to do when you know how, you can save all e-mail's into a text doc 
which saves on the size to put on a floppy, and after you can go into the doc 
and put bookmarks to find certain e-mails, if this is what you want to do read 
on.

  First create a named folder on your floppy, "you need the folder to make it 
work" then go into your Outlook Express or where ever your emails are, then alt 
F +T, arrow to "Export to a file" press enter, arrow to "Tab Separated Values 
(Windows)" press enter, arrow to the folder were your emails are stored press 
enter, Tab to Browse press enter, find and select the new folder on floppy, tab 
to File name give it a name, tab to Save as type make sure it says "Tab 
Separated Values (Windows)" tab to OK press enter, tab to Next press enter 
twice and wait.

  All your messages can then be read on one long text doc.

  Hope it is helpful to you.

    Hi

    My computer has been crashing quite a lot lately - probably flagging from 
the heat like me! So I decided the time had come to get around to backing up 
all the files I've carefully squirreled away in Outlook Express folders...

    However, it seems this task is not as easy as I thought and I'm a bit 
stuck. I've tried copying the files in the usual way and pasting them straight 
onto a floppy disk from Windows Explorer, and also tried moving the files to 
there as one does between folders in Outlook Express. i.e. by picking up the 
files using shift and control plus v...

    But still no luck, so can anyone out there tell me how to do it please?

    Thanks in advance.

    Lynda
