    Question emails to hard drive

    Hi

    One of my colleagues asked me yesterday if she could move a folder within her outlook account which contains a number of emails relating to a particular subject to her hard drive.

    I'm sure I have done this before but for the life of me I can't remember.

    Any help would be good as I said I knew how to do this.

    Thanks

    Re: emails to hard drive

    What version of Outlook is she using? If she is using a desktop version, then the emails are already on her hard drive in a .pst or .ost file.

    If she wants to capture a whole folder of emails as a snapshot and save them as .eml files, she can just drag and drop from Outlook to Windows Explorer.

    Does she want a specific folder in Outlook to always correspond to a folder on her hard drive, so that she moves things to it in Outlook the change also shows up on her hard drive? I don't think that one is possible.

    It would help to understand more about why she wants to do this and how she wants to use that folder once it is created.

    Hi

    I believe it is 2010 the reason is the subject matter relates to a particular subject so she wants to read the email move the email to a folder on her hard drive then delete the email not sure what the logic behind this is.

    Thanks

    You can also do this within Outlook by creating a folder under the Inbox folder and moving them to there. If the purpose is simply to organize things, that might be better than moving them to a folder on the hard drive outside of Outlook.
