Can I copy a folder I have in Outlook Express to a disk?
Edited on Sun Aug-21-05 04:00 PM by napi21
I have lots of emails saved in a separate folder in Outlook Express that refer to my son's divorce. Some have attachments that are on my HD. He has changed attorneys and the old one hasn't yet sent his file to the new one. I want to send the entire folder to the new attorney, but separate emails would be a nightmare for her too!

Can I somehow copy the whole folder to a CD and just mail it to her?

2. Go to this link
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/community/columns/OEtopten.mspx and then "To back up your mail folders:" to copy the subject folder to a CD. Then have the recipient follow "To restore your mail folders:" to copy the folder into her OE.

3. Here's a better way to do it. Click on your C drive then
"Documents and Settings" - - Local Settings - Application Data - Identities - {keep clicking on the folders until you get in to the Outlook Express folder}.



Then you can copy all that info to a disk. BTW, make sure you scan that folder for spyware and viruses too.
