What can't Outlook do that Mozilla Thunderbird can? I use Outlook 2000 sp3.
It can search old archives, create folders, and so far the folders still
hold mail. Some folders have 15,000 emails. It can backup individual folders
or all folders to hard drive or CD. My outlook backup file is 1.3 gigs now
and still growing. Just curious how Mozilla and Netscape are better. Maybe
it's like these folks that don't like IBM's and swear by Mac's. I never used
a Mac.

Subject: [TechAssist] Mozilla thunderbird ver1.0. How to back up lots of
emails off the PC?]
I use Mozilla Thunderbird for my email.It looks and feels like my old
familiar netscape 4.7. It seems better than Outlook express as for
sorting and searching high volumes of my tech emails archived in folders.
I want to be able to drag and drop (copy) the email over to some medium
off the PC like a USB hard drive, DVD,etc. Outlook Express scatters it's
data all over. The old Netscape,I could go to programs, netscape, mail,
users, folders and get the actual mail folders and slide them to a back
up medium. If I wiped the PC HDD clean all I needed do was reload
Netscape, go back to programs, mail, users,etc and reinsert all my
folders back on the HDD and it was all there as before.
I don't see an easy method here.
Any answers to this?
I am terrified I may lose this valuable info. I probably have several
gigs and more than several hundred thousand emails with a wealth of
fix-info.
