In Outlook Express, you can use "File - Export - Messages." Browse for a destination, and it should put all you need wherever you want it.

My OE only lets me do a file-export-messages to Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook. That was my first attempt to export folders, thus my thread.

When saving .eml, I've found it convenient to use the file naming convention "YYMMDDHHMM_Sender_Subject Line.eml" for incoming, and "YYMMDDHHMM_@Addressee_Subject Line.eml" for outgoing.

I too add a date stamp to the subject when saving individual eml files. Is there a way to have this done automatically, or do you add this to each message?
