hi I am addressing this to you because I have tried all the resolutions I could find on the threads and no luck. I want to save ALL messages from my outlook express inbox to a CD ALL at once. I can save one at a time but this would take forever! I have tried select all but then the copy option is greyed out. I am running xp pro.1 gig of ram p4 etc. I have nero burning rom and record now.I have also tried to drag and drop to my cd burning drive and it will not work.I tried the HMAT did not work. Do you know how I can do this? Or is it even possible? Thanks

When you copy it back out, the READ ONLY flag needs to be unchecked if Outlook Express will have anything to do with it...

Thank you very much! I went to your site and downloaded some of the free software! How cool is that screen saver? never seen anything like it! The packman original was a nice touch too! The OE freebie back up is perfect for my needs. I have this other software called DBXtract It works perfect with the OE freebie, difference is it converts the dbx files to burn on cd so you can read the emails right from the cd, but it doesn,t restore the messages back into OE. They compliment each other! Thanks again!
