I need to be able to transfer my wife's emails from an account we've jointly shared to her own account on the same computer. I know how to save one at at time; how do I save a bunch at once?

I need to be able to transfer my wife's emails from an account we've jointly shared to her own account on the same computer. I know how to save one at at time; how do I save a bunch at once?

Assuming you are using either Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail.

I'll use Windows Mail for example ....... 

Open your e-mail program > set up a folder with your wife's name under Inbox >  open the folder where both e-mails are kept > pressCtrl key and HOLD > select your wife's emails by clicking them, one at a time, until you are done. You should notice that the selected e-mails are 'shaded'. When all your wife's mails are selected,release HOLD > right click on one of those ' shaded " e-mails, anyone > clickMove to Folder > navigate to and click your wife's folder > clickMOVEAll your wife's e-mails are now in her own folder.

Almost the same method to be used for Windows Live Mail. The only difference is that you navigate to your wife's own Inbox > then click MOVE.

Answer 2

Here's how to do it in Vista's Windows Mail program, and it's basically the same in any mail program.

First, select the messages that you want to transfer:

• To select all of the messages in a folder, press CTRL+A .
• To select several consecutive messages, click the first one, then hold down the Shift key and click the last one.
• To select non-consecutive messages, hold down the CTRL key while you click each one.

Then save/transfer them as usual.
