Hi Bob, Ken (and all) Although you can do this with Office 2004, be very wary of doing this with Office 2008, as if the program as already run the setup, you will sometimes find it wont work, and you won't gain access to your email. You then have to go through a very long and annoying process to get it working again. It's all to do with the way Microsoft changed the "backup" of it and movied it to an archive type system (called .rge).
The old drag and drop method was great,...but generally it doesn't work anymore, so just something to be wary of.
