The only reason that's not an option is because of the high number of emails I will be saving. On average, we're talking about 300 emailas per day. Now, that's an average. Most of these posts are from groups similar to this one. On any given "busy" day, that mail can easily surpass that 300 mark and hit close to 1000 emails.... in just one day. Saving each individual email is kind of crazy, if you know what I mean. Even if the number of emails was low enough fr my fingers to NOT hurt after saving so many emails, it would still take up valuable time saving all those emails. ---Troth ----- Original Message ----- From: Spider To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, August 11, 2002 11:25 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Archiving Old Mail Hey Troth My system suits me, maybe you should consider it also? I save all messages in notepad, trimming where necessary and adding in at the top the question when needed to understand the reply. All messages are sorted by the topic, and it takes up very little space and search options are fast and dead on.

You can't. I need a way to save old mails, and be able to search them at will. Preference would be saving them to disk. Then, when the time comes, if I need to search mail from January of 2002, I take out the CD marked "Jan-2002" and do a search for a keyword in the mail. > > Now, saving the individual emails... for me, that's not efficient. I have approximately 300 emails daily I am looking to archive. Saving each individual email would basically guarantee me a divorce. > :) > > ---Troth To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/
