The easiest way to save your e-mails is to create a folder in windows explorer - name it what you want. Open OE, and highlight the e-mails that you want to save, and drag them in to the folder you created. The only drawback to this method is - you can't see who the senders are until you open the e-mail to read it. I create folders with the senders name to drag them in to. You also, can't use the 'next' feature when you read them. I'm not sure if you can drag them back into OE or not.
