Copying emails to CDROM

Guest

I need to copy all emails in my INBOX & SENT folders to
CDROM so I can access them via another computer. Please
advise how this is done. I am usint Office 2000.

Create a personal address book (PAB) which will create
a .pst file. Then you can copy the .pst file to another
location.

You do this by going to tools, email accounts, add a new
directory or address book.

Click Address Book
Click personal address book
note the path so you can find it later.
Apply, OK

You will see "personal folders" in your list of folders.
Create a sent and inbox folder, etc. Copy what you want
into it then go to the path and copy the .pst file to your
cd rom.

No. A PAB and a PST are not related. You don't know what you're talking
about.

The way to accomplish what the OP wants is, with Outlook closed, simply to
copy the existing PST to a writable CD, place that CD in the other PC, copy
the PST to the hard drive, remove the read-only attribute and then, in
Outlook, click FIle>Open>Personal Folders File, browse to the PST, select
it, and click OK. The contents of the PST will not be available.

If you think HTML is going to exist in 50 years, I contend you are mistaken.
