Moving emails

muffler

I have no idea if this is the right place to post this query but sure I have to start somewhere.

I use an email programme (Incredimail) to get mail from a few different accounts to the desktop. Several accounts are work related mail and I have it set up that mail from different sources can be moved to various folders in Incredimail but its got to a stage now where I have to trawl through hundreds of emails within a sub folder to locate an email from a particular client sometime in the past which is very time consuming.

I have ordinary folders set up for various clients, associates, companies etc in "my documents" (windows explorer) for storing word docs etc and general correspondence but what I would like to do is to move the emails from Incredimail and store them in the respective folders I have set up for the various clients.

I know I could copy and paste the content of the emails to individual Word docs but thats a hell of a lot of work given the sheer volume of emails I have. So is there any "one click" way of doing this or at least a more simpler way of doing so?

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the links jayat3. That will help a bit with having a way of backing up the emails.

Ideally though I would prefer some simple way of moving individual emails to various folders I have in "my documents". Just wondering if this is possible at all.

Interestingly, Windows Explorer can be configured to show subject, sender, and various other attributes of any email files it encounters in your folders: http://www.techhit.com/outlook/store_email_in_the_filesystem.html

I've just tried this on some .eml files (the usual format for exported emails) and it works fine.

Everything Search Engine should help you find them then :

Can you not just drag the email out of Incredimail and drop it in a folder. It works fine in Outlook.

Not sure if this would help you but you could try archiving and searching?

How do you receive these?

Does searching your emails not find what you are looking for?
