I believe you need to save each email individually into a folder and (yes this is time consuming but not if you do it as they come in) then drag the entire folder into Nero. That's the burning program I use. I don't know how to go about taking thousands of emails and burning them to a disc. Doris

When I tried to do select all and save in my mail program, all that got to the CD was the mail headers. No message content. There was no way to save a bunch of emails at once from the mail program to a folder in My Documents either, all that produced was email headers also without content. I must be doing something wrong, leaving out some critical step(s) but I just don't know what. Since I have Outlook Express on this computer (because it is there)though I don't use it for mail, I could possibly import the messages to Outlook Exp, and thus they would not be lost if my current email program goes south. They'd still be lost if I had a major system blowout, though. But that is all I can come up with to do, as I said, I'm not computer savvy at all. I have no idea how to create the archive files Wayne talked about. I mean, I wanted to try Gmail, but cannot get my address book (contacts) to import into it....there are instructions, but they are unintelligible to me. Which brings up...........is Gmail safe? doesn't that put a person's emails right where the goverment can get to them with no trouble? Would google NOT turn over all that info to the government? When most phone companies are handing all their phone records over? Hmmm.I'm just not sure I want my private (or even my public) correspondence on the web where google can give it all up at any time.Si this paranoid? sol Cinder Ella wrote: > Sure you can save the folder onto your hard drive and burn it onto a CD. > -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
