http://www.oehelp.com/DBXtract/Default.aspx Hello Jeff
The link above will take you where you can download a wonderful little program DBXtract and it is free. It is very easy to use and will allow you to extract those messages that you want to keep and put them in a little white envelope in a folder or folders on your hard drive to access anytime you want. Then you will be able to delete those messages in your folders in Outlook Express...Hope this helps.
