If they have the same subject, when you move them together, they move fine - they number themselves - subject1, subject2, etc. Cris ----- Original Message ----- From: Pat To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, August 29, 2004 8:43 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Moving folders from OE thanks cris I will try this...none is flagged.. and Im not concerned about getting them back into OE ----- Original Message ----- From: "cris" <cris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, August 29, 2004 8:46 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Moving folders from OE What you could do, is to make a folder in my documents with the same name as the folder that you want to move. Have Windows explorer opened to that folder, and have OE opened to that folder. Highlight all of the mail in your OE in that folder, and right click and drag it all to windows explorer. Choose either move here or copy here, and it will copy the mail to that new folder. If you want, you can then delete the mail in the folder in OE. You can then open the folder, and click on the mail. It opens just as it would if it was in OE. Several 'quirks' with this. If you have any e-mails flagged, they won't show up as flagged. NOR will the senders names, until you open the e-mails. SO ! if you want, you can make sub -folders with flagged, or by the sender's name. I have never tried to drag mail back into OE, so I have no idea if you can put it back in there or not after you drag it and delete it from OE. I do this all of the time - Cris ----- Original Message ----- From: Pat To: PCTechTalk Sent: Sunday, August 29, 2004 6:50 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Moving folders from OE I use XP home is there a way to move the folders I created in Outlook Express to My Documents? without forwarding every single eml that's in that folder???
