Configuring Outlook Express?

[figarow]

I need to be able to save my emails to a folder as they are downloaded from the server. I have heard that you can do this but I don't know how.

i dont think you can do it through outlook express .. i think its only microsoft outlook (the one that comes with microsoft office package)

Go to Tools / Options

Click on the Maintenance Tab.

There, you will find a button called Store Folder

Hope this helps

Thanks Chris Will I benefit changing folders? I am trying to make sure that the mesages are backed up in case they get deleted off the server for some reason.

Why not burn the contents of the folder every so often to a CD or some other location? That way they're backed up.

If you just save them on another folder you're not really backing them up.

I always do that whenever my pc gets a spring cleaning (reinstall).

if the server gets whipped they will still be on your comp because the emails have been downloaded. They are no longer on their server. The only way u will lose them is if you delete them from ur inbox then delete them from your deleted emails folder.
