Windows Mail in Vista Home Premium

[elusiverunner]

When I used Outlook Express it was great to be able to save emails using
software from MVP Steve Cochran called dbxtract. With this you could save
emails on external media and view them through Windows Explorer. There was
no need to export all email messages and then have to import them all just to
read one email message.

I now have Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Mail, should have kept the
Windows XP platform. Of course the only way to archieve Windows Mail is to
export every email and rules, etc and if by chance one just needs to review
one email message all have to be imported.

I would be happy if some one could tell me a method or recommend some third
party software that will perform the same functions as dbxtract did for OE6
for Windows Mail.

Please forget about " export " and Windows Explorer.
You can "save" and "view" your e-mails on any given days by :
(1). The lazy but unorganized way : On the folder pane ( left side ) under
Local Folder, there is a folder named DRAFT. Just "drag and drop" those
e-mails you want to keep into the Draft folder. You want to review past
e-mails, just click the Draft folder.
(2). More work initially, but organized : under Local folder, you can use
the INBOX or the DRAFT folder and create sub-folders with names. Drag and
Drop e-mails to corresponding sub-folders. This way will allow you to locate
the particular e-mail you want to review much much faster.
Ex. right click on DRAFT > click New Folder > enter folder name > OK. (
Repeat for next sub-folder ).
