Vista - Saving email

02-16-2008

In WM I could easily open and then save any received email into a folder of
my choice anywhere on the computer; with WLM I discover that I have to creat
afolder under the Storage Folders then move rorcopy the email message into
that created folder. But this is not what I want to do. I have business
folders on my desktop into which I want to save particular pieces of email.

Have I simply missed something here or have I lost one of the good features
of ML?

My apologies. Noone needs answer my query since I've just discovered that I
needed to reveal the File, Edit, Tools, Actions, Help toolbar in order to
save as.

File->Save as...

If the menus bar is not displayed, then Alt+M, M will display it.

You can right-click|COPY TO FOLDER, and choose any folder in WLM.

You can also FILE menu|SAVE AS, and copy to any folder on the PC (as an
..eml), which when clicked will open in the default mail program.
