You can "Export" a copy of your email folders to new folder and then save them to the external hard disk. When you want them back, you can just "Import" them back into Windows Mail. This tutorial will show you how. There is no need to manually do it. Windows Mail - Messages Shawn |

| | Re: Backing up email folders If I 'export' to an external disk, then are they removed from the computer's hard disk? I want to leave them where they are, but to have a back-up copy on my external hard disk. Will this be the case if I export them?

It will just Export a copy so you can backup them anywhere you want so you can Import them back to Windows Mail if you need or want to. Shawn |
