Cat, if you set up auto archive it is very easy to find emails in the archive folder. You can archive emails on old comp and move to a usb drive to transfer to new comp. The only catch is that they will only open via outlook. Assuming you are using outlook. Another idea is to create a file to drop and drag important emails into so they don't get lost amongst the ones that need trashing.

geez, you must be an important person, cat!

I approach my email collection with a somewhat religious fervour ... when I have deleted and filed 100 or so mails, I feel so holy.  When my inbox is down to 10 pages of important and relevant emails that I have to take action on (instead of 100), you can call me St Katy and pray to me.  It happens rarely enough to BE a miracle. 

I have two email addresses.. One for spam, and one that I actually use..

Gmail is actually pretty efficient at sorting out spam, rarely has it put something important in spam

I have four emails 

one personal

one spam

one business

and one that is just there coz I liked the email address and I have never used it so it gets nothing... 

I have thought about setting up an archive but never got around to it... if I know where it is then that is fine and easy to to to and delete them all.. 

but I don't know where these ones are going... 

Hot mail is my favourite though it has changed to outlook express.

But I only talk to a couple of people on there and I don't get any spam.

optus seems to get a lot of spam I also have a gmail account but I don't remember the password.

life can't be too interesting for you Karen if you want to know what affairs other people are having, they can't bring you any excitement. :^O

Interesting enough life, thanks margo, but I'd never say no to a good laugh. I wish they'd tell me :_|

I just remembered another one, the car park kiss one :^O 

OK you two, back to ya corners and don't come out till ya HEARS the bell ring....OK?:^O

btw, I use Gmail and Hotmail like internet garbage bins.  Hardly ever log into the ones for Ebay etc.....so much spam it ain't funny.  I Keep a private one separately = much easier to sort the Ham from the Spam when there's no Spam.

but I don't know where these ones are going...

are they archived in your webmail?
