djk2450 · 02-03-2006, 12:51 AM

i have all my email history on outlook express. i want to copy or move this entire account to a cd or dvd, so i can wipe my hard drive and re-install xp. i have many emails that i would like to keep. how would i go about doing this? thanks for any help that is offered. Peace and God bless. dan

Hm.. I don't think its possible to do that unless you copy and paste all the info inside of the email itself and save them then, burn them.

Don't think there is any other way.. Could be wrong.

thank you very much for your replies. i went to the ms site and saw the information there ( i keep forgetting that ms will actually assist you occasionally without charging ). thanks again. Peace and God bless. dan

ps: i have several computers that i mess around with and i really foul them up sometimes. that is why i have to find some "unusual" fixes. thanks again.

I've done it...
But I don't remeber how, I'll check it and send a message later...

that would be great. i haven't done it yet, as i always find out how to do something right immediately after i have done it wrong. thanks again. dan
