definitely keeps OE running smoother - keeping mail volume down! and hanging folders !!

I'll do this to solve my hanging folders problem, thanks! --Glo ----- Original Message ----- From: cris To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 5:09 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Backing up OE yes - I make a folder - several actually - I put it under e-mail, and then a sub folder that has the name of the e-mail folder in it, and the days date that I move it. Highlight the mail in OE that you want to move, and drag it - right click and choose either move here or copy here (it doesn't delete it from your OE - you would have to do that yourself) - and it will copy the mail to that folder. NOW - the only conflict is when you go to move mail again into that folder, and it has the same subject line as an e-mail that is already in there. It will reject it. So - I will either re-name an e-mail in the folder I drag to, or I will build a sub folder, with that days date in it, and drag the new e-mails to that folder. make sense? crisS ----- Original Message ----- From: Glo To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 7:32 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Backing up OE ok then, where is this other folder you drag your mail to? I mean do you make your OE screen smaller so you can see "my docs" screen and drag to a folder there?--Glo ----- Original Message ----- From: cris To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2003 4:30 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Backing up OE I don't believe you can open them - That's just where they are and Jeff is backing them up. If his OE crashes, he can put them back in there and have his mail saved. That's one reason I just save my mail by dragging to another folder. then if I want to read it, I click on it and it opens in OE - I save mine, more because I didn't get to do what I wanted with it yet - like if it has fonts attached, then I can save it and later open it in a folder and save the fonts and delete the e-mail.

Or can you? When I click on them, I get the "open with" list and there's nothing top open those files with--how do you do it? --Glo ----- Original Message ----- From: cris To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 10:01 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Backing up OE Go to Outlook Express - go to TOOLS OPTIONS /maintenance/store folder - Your file path will be listed in store folder.
