Ok guys,

Here's one for you (Rob?)

How can I save all of my e-mails (I use Outlook Express) from my inbox in a folder in My Documents??? or move them to a disc for safe keeping (away from the pc).

In Outlook select the following:

Tools
Options
Mail Setup
Data Files

Create a new .pst file (call it backup or something else snappy!)

(you may have to close/re-open outlook at this stage)

Go to your inbox/sent items/etc etc and copy the mails over to the new folder that has appeared called "Backup"

you can then close outlook, navigate through to where you created your .pst file and save it to CD etc at will.

Cheers

What I do is run my Inbox from my second hard drive by using:

Tools
Options
Maintenance
Store folder

This will then let you specify were you want your store folder kept.

That way if you have to re-format you can go into Outlook Express, once you've re-formatted, alter the store folder to your second hard drive address and bingo all your E-mails are back!

Forget all the above......Too complicated.
Create a new folder on your desk top and then drag and drop the emails into it, sorted.


Something has happend to my posts counter. I'm sure i was on over 1900 and now it has dropped down to 1770 something, what's that all about.
Also how do i put smilies in with my text?

Also, how do i get coloured text and different font style in my signature?

Like this, its easy



Type your message or signature, left click your mouse button and highlight the text, Then choose your text, highlight it again then choose the size, then again for the colour.

You Sure

You could have fooled me!

If you hightlight the text where do you select the colour/font/size from, right clicking does not give you any suitable options and left clicking unselects the text.

Sounded simple initially!

I think so mate
