Hotmail- Saving all my mail?
 

So I've been fighting my hotmail space limit for about a year now. I'm headed out on a short trip and I know it'l max out while I'm gone. I really would like to start fresh and save all my mails to my hard drive, but the only way I know is to individually title and 'save as' each mail, and I've got four pages worth!
Please tell me that there's a way to massively send all my mail...Maybe I could select it all and just foreward it to a new account for now.But I'd love something more permanent.
Thanks for any help guys.

outlook or outlook express.

log onto your hotmail account via that, and drag and drop your emails from one folder to an offline one.

I'm in Outlook Express but can't find an 'offline' folder. Is this titled a 'local' folder?
Thanks

Yep, same thing :)

Much appreciated all ;)

So I'm about to do this and I'm a little paranoid. You guys confimed that the 'local' folder is offline, but are you sure that once I copy all my files to my offline folder that I can delete the files 'online' and not lose them?
Thanks ;)

Yes.. for sure. Your files are safe. He didn't mean 'the' offline folder, just one of yours. You can create your own even, calling it "hotmail backups" or something.

Gracias!

So I moved everything flawlessly. So now is there an actual folder on my computer that has all the mails as files, or are they stored in Outlook somehow.
Thanks

It's saved in a pst file, you can burn this file to a disk, or move it to another location and access these file from anywhere you want. *.pst
