backing up emails?

Moorron · 20 Oct 2006 at 11:37

Can anyone help, im using Microsoft outlook 2003 at work, all my private emails are 'ruled' into a 'private' folder in my inbox. There are 300+ emails.

Is there anyway of coping them (to html?) all in one go, I can open each one and file save as, but this will take me ages.

If I achive them will it remove them from my work email and can I then open them up on another PC without outlook?

Thanks
Andy.

why not export them into a .pst format?

not sure if this will help or not but its a little plugin for outlook 2003 to automatically backup your emails to an external backup folder.

Hope it helps

It also works on 2007 as well - BUT I'm damned if I can remember how... I just know it does...

Any chance there's anything like that for Mozilla Thunderbird?

Thanks & apologies for the (small) hijack

I *think* thunderbird just uses files for email storage. If you find out where Mozilla stores emails and copy the directory.
