If you want to make backups of email from Outlook Express. But in Outlook Express Save As option in the file menu only saves one message at a time and the Move option in the Edit menu only moves emails between folders. But in Outlook Express it is possible to drag and drop multiple emails from Outlook Express into a Windows Explorer window.
Open the correct folder in Outlook Express and arrange the window so it only takes up half of the screen. Hold down the Ctrl button and left-click on all the emails that you want to save.
Click on the Start button and then My Documents to open a Windows Explorer window. Then create a new folder for the selected emails. Drag and drop the emails into this folder to create a copy. If you don’t want them in Outlook Express any more, they can now be deleted.
The limitation with this system however, is that the emails can only be sorted by date or subject.
