1219879 2011-07-29 07:06:00 I have been given a computer which is in good nic and going well. I just need to save all the emails so they can be read without an email programme. I have no idea if this is possible and if it is, how I would go about doing it. Failing that.. is there some way I could export all the emails to open them up on another computer running outlook. I have this horrid feeling that this may be simple but I have never learned how as I have never had a need to (until now):eek: ollieogg (6593)

Are they in Outlook or Outlook Express? You can actually save as . text:

Save Messages as Plain Text with Outlook

To save an email as plain text in Outlook:

Open the desired message in the Outlook preview pane .
To save multiple messages to one text file, highlight them all in the mailbox .
In Outlook 2007:
Select Save As from the message's Office button .
In Outlook 2003:
Choose File | Save As . . . from the menu .
Make sure Text Only (or Text Only (* . txt)) is selected under Save as type: .
Type the desired file name under File name: or accept the suggested name .
Choose the folder to save your emails in under Save in: .
Click Save .
