How can I save e-mail messages to a disk as a document?

[Guest]

I recently did a large project that required many, many e-mails. I now need
to save these messages to a disk as documents so that I can include them with
my project report. Anyone know how to do that? I can't even seem to save
them into my documents on my computer. If I could do that, then I could save
to disk, I think.
I'm using Windows Vista with Microsoft Office 2007

Isolate your email into a folder. In Outlook do a File / Import-Export and
chose the Export to File option. I would suggest you try the tab separated
values (windows) format first. I think the output might be what you are
looking for. If not, you can experiment with the various formats available
to export. This will allow you to export all messages at one time into a
single file. If you want separate saves for each message you should be able
to do that by clicking on a message and clicking File / Save and save the
individual message to whatever folder you want. Format options are html,
msg, oft etc. HTML would probably work

Hi Sandy and Spider,
Maybe mailtofile can help you on this.
You can file your complete Outlookfolders, or some sub folders and
archive the email as separate files on the hard disk. Then it will be
easy to copy them to a CD. I can advise you to zip all email (or use
WinXP compressed folders). If you like you can archive all attachments
separately as well (in one click).
In case you don't have all project email in one Outlookfolder, you can
select some email and archive them using mailtofile.
Good day!
