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. Phil Bader -- Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc. (estab. 1976) 3420 Recker Hwy.
