Hi Cris I've tried the import/export way. Doesn't work for me, because it wants to export to Outlook only. Regards Irene Uys ----- Original Message -----=20 From: "Cris" <cris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> you can export (file/export/ ) your e-mail and your address=20 book. Then you can import it back into OE again later. If you don't want to put it back into OE, you can highlight=20 multiple messages and drag them into a folder that you've=20 created - in windows explorer. Then you can double click on=20 the messages to read them. The individual messages open in=20 OE. But - they don't get placed back into OE.
