All I do Sue if I want to keep an e-mail is after you have read it and it goes back to the list, left click on the e-mail and keep your finger on the curser and drag it to the left hand side list you should have ( like Inbox/Delete box/Journal etc: )and put it under whatever list you feel is right for this mail. Once you stop at the file you want just lift your finger and it will automatically stay there. If you want to read it again just go and click on that file. I have kept all my mail to do with family research in my genealogy file on the left hand side. Hope you understand me and that it helps you. Good luck! Diane...........

You can copy and paste into Word then give the document a name and file it in an appropriate folder in your Documents. (And back up the Documents folder in case of computer disaster: it's happened to me :-( )

I use outlook express and hot mail for my emails, the question I would like to know is how do I save some of these emails and put them in a folder in my documents. Could someone please explain in a simple way. Many thanks it is also for a friend, so I am not the only idiot...................Sue she knows who she is.
