Title: sending complete e-mail folders
Post by: Clive on October 10, 2003, 17:40

Mrs Clive wants to send out folders containing dozens of individual e-mails in one go.  We have both had a look to see if it can be done but can't figure out a way to do it.  She uses Outlook Express.

Just zip them all together and send as an attachment Clive  :)

Thanks Sandra.  I've passed the message on to her.

Or you could create another folder in outlook "MrsClive" for example. Place a copy of all emails you want in there. Close outlook (just to make sure it saves correctly).

Search your harddrive for MrsClive.dbx - this is your "compressed" outlook folder and will contain all emails. You can then send this, and people can IMPORT it when they receive it...

That's a neat trick isn't it?   8)

I've been trying to figure out why anyone would want to do this?

Mrs Clive has a shedful of e-mails from students who have completed her part of the course and now have to be passed on to another facilitator.  She has stored all of them in a special folder so that they wouldn't get lost, but these have to go to their next facilitor.  It's easier to send them in a batch rather than one at a time.   ;D
