I am running xp home would like to know how to save some of my emails that I
have saved in folders to floppy disks? I am useing microsoft outlook.Thank
you. It was easy when I was using w 98.
 
Outlook creates a .pst file that contains your personal folders. If the file
is small enough you could put it on a floppy.
 
Here is another way....

......There is a very convenient way to save email messages from Outlook to
the C: drive or a Zip Disk but it does not include the attachments with the
messages. Though this method does not work by selecting a folder name, it
will work by selecting all of the messages in the folder. All of the selected
messages will be saved to a single text file. You can then delete the
messages from Outlook if you wish.

Using Outlook select whatever messages you want to save to a local drive
(you could select them all with Ctrl-A or Edit, Select All).
Choose File, Save As
Choose where to save the file, then give it a name, which could be the same
as the folder name they are coming from if you wish to copy the entire folder
and delete it from Outlook.
