let me know what you find out!! I use the drag and drop - I open a folder in OE and highlight all of the mail in it and drag it to a folder I've created on my hard drive - Then I delete all of that mail I've highlighted - then I can burn those folders and browse them and if I click on one, it will open ...... I know you can't re-create a folder back into OE if you already have a folder with that name on it in there - it will delete the existing mail. But I don't know much about it at all - my son did it for me once when I lost a folder. He had to play games with re-naming folders. cris ----- Original Message ----- From: Judith To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 10:50 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Saving OE emails & assumption I am proud of me :-) I found my OE folders in Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook Express and burned them to a CD-R. Now am I correct in my assumption if I delete some of my folders in OE and then for some reason need to see an email folder previously deleted but still on the CD-R, I can return that one particular folder to above using explorer.exe and when I open OE, it will be there?
