Best to ask the OE experts in one of the many OE newsgroups, e.g. here:
//msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general

You might want to consider using Thunderbird as it has a much greater
storage capability, has a junk filter, compacts automatically and
corrects spelling as you type. When you install Thunderbird, it will ask
you if you want to import from OE. Get it free at
http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird.

Select the mail, then click File --> Save as --> then select the appropriate
folder you want to save to.

What exactly do you want to do? Do you want to backup your e-mails or
simply move the store folder?

Hopefully, this page will help you with whatever it is you hope to
accomplish:

http://www.insideoe.com/backup/

Although, the method outlined here is a bit involved, it is worth
checking out:

http://www.insideoe.com/backup/clone.htm

Note that in Step 2 of the Preparation section, you may create *one*
location for all your Outlook Express files and registry keys (including
your address book and your message store) and call the folder "My
Outlook Express Identity."

Thank You for the reply. I want to move them out of Outlook Express so that
it will not be so big.

Thank You for your rely. I don't see an option of save as there is only Save
as stationary.

I just noticed that by doing just a single message the save comes up but not
if a I do multiple at once because I want to move out a bout 1000 messages.

Wherever they are, they will be the same size!

Do you perhaps wish to create an archive? If so, here is one way to
that:

http://www.insideoutlookexpress.com/tips/archiving.htm

Here's another:

http://www.insideoutlookexpress.com/...al.htm#folders

Note that if you have multiple folders, you can create a new identity
called "Archive Identity."

How large is your message store currently?

As long as you make sure your Inbox and Sent folders don't get too
large, everything should be fine. Just create new folders within Outlook
Express and move those e-mails to their new locations.

Then empty the Deleted Items folder and compact everything:

http://www.insideoutlookexpress.com/...hy.htm#compact

This way, there wouldn't even be a need to move any e-mails "out of
Outlook Express." And if you are indeed interested in archiving older
e-mails, just see the links above.

About all you can do is select as many as possible and drag them to a
folder.

To select, you can...
1. Press Ctrl + A to select all messages within a given OE "folder"
2. Press Ctrl and select multiple messages by clicking on each (while
pressing Ctrl)
3. Press Shift to select a range of messages by clicking on 1st then last
(or vice versa)

They will wind up in the folder as individual files, not all hooked together
in a dbx file. Clicking on any will open it in OE.

Open the desired folder, then drag the e-mail from OE to the folder and
release.
