How+to...save+emails

These instructions work for THUNDERBIRD email program.
===You can save emails on your email program. This works well for saving information temporarily. For instance, if someone in my family is ill I make a temporary file for emails concerning that person. Later I can delete it. Another example is a file for e-letters from a certain family member or friend or a doctor's newsletter. Maybe you want to reread them later, but you want to clear your screen. You can file them in that file until you are finished with them.===

===You can also save emails in My Documents. This works well for saving information permanently. For instance, you might want to save letters from a certain person permanently. Once you have them saved on My Documents, you can burn a CD to save them in case your computer ever crashes.===

To save emails on your email program:

 * ===Go to File--New--New folder--type in a name for the file--that file will appear on the left sidebar, if your page is arranged like mine. Then when an email comes in that you want to save, just highlight it and drag it over to the file. Another way to move it is to go to Message--Move--Inbox--your file. Once something is filed, you can click on your file to open and read.===

To save emails in My Documents:

 * ===Go to File--Save as--File.===
 * ===At top see Save in--scroll until you find the file in My Documents that you want the email to be filed in.===
 * ===At the bottom, see Save as type: Click on the arrow for choices. Click on Text files or TXT or RTF.===
 * ===You will find your file in My Documents. Go to Start--My Documents. To make it easy, highlight and drag My Documents to your Desktop for easy access.===
