Hi Rich,
Below are steps on saving from OE to your My Documents / Recipes folder.
I
am only using the Recipes folder as an example but, if you're going to
save
emails from different folders in OE it would be easier to make folders
with
the same titles in My Documents to keep them in the same order, so to
speak.
Here are the steps:
Using Outlook Express below is 1 set of steps on how to save an email to
the
Recipe folder in your My Documents folder.
1. With the email you want to save highlighted / selected, press Alt + F,
for the file menu, arrow down to save as, & press enter. Or press Alt +
F,
then press the letter, A.
2. A dialogue opens & you can change the name of the message here, if you
want.
3.A. Tab 1 time to the save as combobox & right here this is where you
choose which format you want to save the email as. Your choices are Mail
*.eml, Text file *.txt, & Unicode Text File *.txt. Personally I save
email
in both .EML & .TXT formats but, you can't save them in both formats at
the
same time so, you have to save the email 2 times, once in each format.
3.B. We will use the .EML format for now. So, you are in the save as
combobox, arrow down to Mail *.eml, tab 3 times to the save in combobox,
arrow up or down to the My Documents folder, with the My documents folder
highlighted, tab 3 more times to, folder view list view. This is a list
of
folders in your My Documents folder.
4. Arrow down to your Recipe folder & press enter to open the folder, now
tab to the save button, & press the spacebar. Your recipe has now been
saved in your Recipe folder. If you want to save this same email as a
text
file, your Recipe folder has already been selected so, you don't have to
navigate to the Recipe folder.
5. Press Alt + F, then press the letter, A, tab 1 time to the save as
combobox, press the letter T, for text file or arrow down to the Text
File
*.txt option, tab 1 time to save, & press the spacebar or enter. When
you
are in the save as combobox you can use first letter navigation instead
of
arrowing to your format of choice.
Go look in your recipe folder to see if your messages have been saved the
way you want them saved. Saving email outside of your email client takes
some practice & getting used to but, it is well worth the extra work. If
your email client was to become corrupted for whatever reason, having
your
email saved outside you won't lose your emails. Personally I don't have
any
emails saved in Outlook Express.
Hope this helped.
Take care.
Mike

Hi Rich,
You have to save the email as some kind of file whether it be an .eml
or,
.txt file before you can copy it onto your flashdrive. As a test try to
copy an email while it is close & paste it somewhere. It won't work.
It
has to be saved as with a file extension to it in on order for it to be
copied. So in short, you will need to save the emails somewhere outside
of
OE in order to be saved to your flashdrive. HTH
Take care.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Copy to flash drive
Hi all,
I have XP and 14.0 and Outlook Express.
I want to copy around 100 e mails that I have in various folders in
Outlook
Express and paste them on to a flash drive/thumb drive. {same thing?}.
Do I just put the flash in to the USB port go to e mail, select all of
the
desired messages, then paste them in to the appropriate drive/device in
"My
Computer"?
This seems easier than trying tocopy them in to "My documents".
Thanks for any help.
Rich
