I use Office XP with Windows XP, thus Outlook XP. I
backup my email to a .pst folder, but I need to save some
to a CD. It seems impossible. I get a lot of files "ready
to be written to the CD", but I cannot write them. I
tried "send", "copy/paste", it always tell me that the
size of the files is too big for the CD, though I now try
to write only 14 emails.

Can you tell me how to proceed please?

Thanks
 
Hi,

You might want to save Outlook e-mails as Word Documents (.doc) in a folder
somewhere in Desktop or My Documents then Burn (copy) whole Folder with
emails to your CD.

Thanks for your answer. I saved my emails (and other Word
files) in different folders in Desktop, but I don't think
I can save them as .doc, as they are in HTML format. Why
does it say that my CD is full, while there is nothing on
it? They are always "ready to be written" but CANNOT be
written.
What do you think?
Thanks
 
Export only those you want to save to a PST file and then burn that onto CD.
You could also export them to CSV or another format but PST is possibly
preferred. Note that you need write access to the PST to be able to open it
so you need to copy it back tot eh hard drive and change the read-only
attribute when you want to open that PST and view them.
