How do I move an email folder to an external device,i.e. cd, flash drive?

Assuming you are working with Microsoft Outlook, you can't move a folder to an external drive, but you can copy its contents:


1. In Outlook, click the Restore Down button and reduce the window size to, say, half the screen


2. Open the external drive and place its window so it occupies the other half of the screen


3. Right click in the external drive screen and create a New Folder


4. Open the folder in Outlook you want to copy and click on any e-mail


5. Press Ctrl+A, then drag and drop the messages to the new folder you have just created





If you want to backup your entire Outlook files (on a regular basis):


1. In Outlook, click on File %26gt; Data File Management


2. Click on Add and then OK


3. Select Office Outlook Personal Folders File.pst


4. In Create or Open... window, change the Save In location to My Documents and click OK and OK again





Then, if you copy this file from My Documents to your external drive, you will save an entire copy of all your e-mail folders in one go.

Windows won't let you move it's system files.





So, you don't "move" it, you "copy" it's contents to an external storage device. It's called a "Backup".
