| I see some Mozilla subscribers on here so I'm hoping someone can help. I'm by nature, an incurable email "hoarder",,,and my hard drive is getting overloaded. Is there anyway I can store these old emails on a CD? I'm probably going to get an external hard drive pretty soon,,,so,,if I can't store them on CD can I put them on the external HD and still access them fairly easily? |

If you google "archive thunderbird email" (no quotes), you'll get a lot of hits about how to do that.
I took a look at this one and, although there's a little learning curve involved, I'd still try it first, since it's designed for what you want to do, and there's no software to buy.
Note that the discussion of the "Buttons! extension" includes the statement "Once you've configured the extension, just select one or more messages in the message-list pane and then click the Archive! button. Those messages will be filed in the archive folder that you've specified." The folder you specify could be on an external hard drive. |

Sonny,
Copy/past them to notepad, name them, save to a file then deleat the email. When you get the file to 650 mb, burn to a cd.I just checked a full page poem that I saved, and printed for my wife, it is only 3.8kb, which would take about 40 of this size to be 1 mb x 650 =26,000 emails per CD. Methinks it will take a while to save that many emails.
