Mike and Trish, Thanks so much for this. I did not catch how to make a folder in the first place. My thought is to have a folder labeled "e mails" in "my docs". Please bare with my inexperience and let me know how to make/create the folder in "my docs". I then could follow your steps to copy the mails.
