How do I save e-mails to CD without opening them?

No cheapy - I pay for MSN, RCN, Opt Online, and a new Time Warner. I just
want my MSN to work. My problem is I probably have so many because I don't
really know how to make any of them work right - Hotmail was rather problem
free. When using Outlook about 3 yrs. ago - started getting about 1,000 XXX
rated e-mails every few days and couldn't block them.

It sounds like you need to stop using a free Hotmail and start paying for
one so that you can access it thru Outlook and save your files more easily.

Thank you. That takes me to Plan B. I hire a high school student to sit
there and do it the hard way.

Got message from MSN 87% full.
Hotmail. ( Several months ago before account got so full my MSN e-mail
in
box and folders started showing up empty. MSN found e-mail - "Saved
it" -
Lost Forever. Now can only access through Hotmail).
I go in through Internet Explorer. Where would Outlook come into play?

What email application are you using?

Getting that amount of x-rated emails tells me your address has been sold
over and over again. Once you've given your email address out to a company
you don't know, you're screwed. (Sorry about the terminology but it fits.)

Yours isn't an Office issue. You need to learn how *not* to give your email
address out or have one set up for junk only. Like this one that I use for
the public newsgroups.

If you are getting that amount change the Hotmail filter settings to only
allow people in your address book....

Thank you for this response.

Is there a way to move email folders from Outlook Express to an external
drive -- without having to move each individual message one at a time? Many
thanks.

Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.

Find the {foldername}.dbx in Windows and move it.
Look at the Backup section here for some information:
