OT email ?

Is it possible to copy the emails in folders for transfer to another computer like you can with the address book? (win 98) Yes, but you need to be more specific about what email software you use? If you use Outlook Express it is easy and will explain if that is what you use? Sorry, yes I still OE but I am trying to transfer from win98 over to vista which has windows mail (looks the same!) and no I can not network could before vista but not now Ahh! You've got me now. I think Vista uses something different for email? To transfer OE mail between other windows versions is easy. Hopefully someone else will explain what is involved with Vista. David,........a question.......What if Charlie installed donor hard drive as a slave in the recipient machine. Then copied mails to an archive folder by drag and drop. Would this be possible? :) I don't know. I'm avoiding Vista like the plague. I'd heard that Vista uses something different to OE so I don't even know if the emails are in a compatible format for transfer. Vista uses what is now called Windows Mail. It has an import facility for Outlook Express files. It seems straightforward enough. Basically you copy the files across to the Vista machine and then import them into Windows Mail. http://forums.techguy.org/windows-vi...ansfer-mail.ht ml -- Chris French |

OK, thanks everyone. I am now dare I say it a fan of vista! Wash your mouth out with carbolic!!! :-) -- David in Normandy. To e-mail you must include the password FROG on the subject line, or it will be automatically deleted by a filter and not reach my inbox. |

(win 98) -- Charlie Pridham, Gardening in Cornwall www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of national collections of Clematis viticella cultivars and Lapageria rosea Why not just pick your desired email then go File Save As and choose your desired folder anywhere on your hard drives or partitions. Admittedly you will have to do this with each email you wish to save, however if you do this as you go, it will make filing easier. Your emails get saved as *.eml files in your chosen folder and you can open them any time if you are using OE. If you don't have a flash card you could probably WinZip the folder to your address on the web and then pick it up there for importing to a different computer. someone |

I tend to keep a lot of emails, I would have to do thousands of saves . Not that I would in reality of course, because for my email client I'd just have to move a couple of files to transfer them all. -- Chris French |
