| 81284 | 2002-09-20 05:40:00 | Does anyone have "multiple" emails that they wish to save but the subject name of many of them are similar..say 10-12 have the same name coz i have 100ish emails that have many with the same subject but i dont want to go and rename them all...is there any way that i can make the folder save every single one...with the same name..not having to save one and find theres another one with same name and replace it... I hope someone gets what i mean coz i dont think i explaining it right.. If i cant save it into a folder out of OUTLOOK (into my documents) , i may as well just save them in a folder IN outlook.. |

| 81285 | 2002-09-20 05:46:00 | if you are talking about saving them externally so that they are just like any other file then no. you can't have more than one file with one name. you can save them in outlook though with all the same name, well you can in OE which is what i use... |

| 81286 | 2002-09-20 05:55:00 | You can backup the folder that they are saved in and then restore them to another PC later (Or you own - Whatever) Depending on what OS, the location will be different, so, what O/S are you running? Also, what version or OeX are you running? Cheers Chilling_Silence |

| 81289 | 2002-09-20 06:26:00 | Unless Outlook does things different to Outlook Express, I don't think you can actually rename individual email subjects from received emails. You also cannot save individual emails outside of Outlook unless you use a special email extractor program. Just storing your emails with identical headers within a folder in Outlook shouldn't be a problem - Outlook Express doesn't mind like Windows Explorer does so I can't see why Outlook should be any different. Don't know if it will interest you or not but there are some tips for maintaining Outlook Express here (pressf1.co.nz). |

| 81290 | 2002-09-20 06:48:00 | Hi, I'm not sure if this is what you are meaning but I have stored Emails in a folder that I named jokes in My Documents. I have OE5 & windows ME. I just went to file save as & then my documents. Pauline. |

| 81291 | 2002-09-20 09:22:00 | OMG!! :O I had completely and utterly forgotten that you could do that!! Now I remember how those old, old emails got in that folder.... duh! Right, so now I understand what Chris is talking about, and the only solution I can suggest is when each email is saved to tack on a consecutive number to each one. Eg Your Computer Corner Tip 01 Your Computer Corner Tip 02 etc. You just need to press the End key after going to File, Save As and type in the number. Otherwise you could try Dbxtract. This page (pages.prodigy.net) explains how it works but it only mentions Outlook Express, not Outlook. It will work if Outlook's emails have the .eml extension. |
