I hold a number of emails which I received whilst an officer of a charity,
and now need to transfer them to a new officer. I want to put them on a
removable disc, but as copy and paste doesn't seem to be allowed, I am lost.
Can anyone tell me how to do this please?

If the other person uses Windows Mail/Windows Live Mail, then do
File - Export - Messages - Microsoft Windows Mail
you have to specify an empty folder to save to.

If they use Outlook, then do
File - Export - Messages - Microsoft Exchange
this creates a .pst file

If they use some other email program, it may be easier to simply forward
them.

Click to expand...

But only if Outlook is installed on the originating machine AFAIK....
 
The email messages are stored as eml files in WinMail in Vista under
directories that match folder names, so its very easy to find the files and
copy them to CD or a jump drive. Just search the message store directory in
Windows (the directory can be found via Tools | Options | Maintenance |
Advanced | Store Folder) and find the directory that matches the folder that
holds the messages and copy the entire directory onto the CD and then verify
that the files were correctly copied.

See the section on WinMail here for more info:
