In 2002 we have someone who had a shortcut within Outlook to My Documents.
He was able to drag and drop emails into this folder. However, now with
2003, he still has the shortcut to the My Documents folder but is not allowed
to drag and drop emails to that location. Is there a way to accomplish this
rather than doing a Save As? They like the drag and drop option because it's
obviously faster.

Thanks!

No, you'll have to open the Explorer window first if you want to do a drag &
drop.

It sounds like he added a shortcut to his 'Outlook bar'. Windows will allow
you to drop files and such onto a shortcut, I was not aware Outlook also
supported this feature.

Try to drag and drop your 'My Documents' to your 'Outlook bar' and see if
that works.

If you just want copies of the email you can select the messages ( <ctrl> key
and click) and then go to save as and save as and save them as a text doc in
what ever folder you choose
