saving hotmail emails

mutley74

Hi

I have an hotmail account which i have used for business emails over the past few years. Is there any easy way i can download all these in a simple or quick way so i can save them for future archiving? (preferably not printing each as pdf as there are a few hundered emails)

thanks

On my hotmail, I set up a folder called 'storage' - it has messages in there from 2005.

Won't that do?

Alternatively, you could probably set your mail reader to d/l them all and save them there??

You need to use an email client such as outlook to access hotmail via POP. You can then export your emails into a single file for backup.
Have a read at this to find out what clients you can use and the config settings ;

yes i save all emails in a folder but wish to consider backup as well.

what is a meal reader and what does "d/l" mean?

Download them into Outlook or similar then export as a PST file.

A 'meal reader' is an edible version of a mail reader which is a program you use to d/l (which stands for download) your e mails onto your computer.

Thunderbird and Windoze Live Mail are examples of free mail readers

Micro$oft Outlook is a paid for mail reader (part of M$ Office)
