If you don't mind downloading Thunderbird and importing  8 gig of emails
I can supply two DVD's with all email messages with  pictures back to April
1998.
Thunderbird comes with a  search engine and that is what I use. Search by
key
word  in the subject or body of the message.

Is this what you are talking about?

I'm not  familiar with this email software but it sounds like it has some
nice archiving features.

Don

Yep!

It  dates back to the beginning of the internet perhaps 15 years ago.
It  was originally called Netscape. It predated Internet Exploader by
several years and MicroSoft attempted to put them out of biz
by  giving away a copy of Netscape called Internet Exploader with
every  copy of Windows. They were fined $650 million by the EU but Bill
Gates
just decided to buy the EU instead of paying the fine  :)

G'Day Paul,


I'd be interested in  the archived info also. Did you really mean importing
8Gb, or are you
going to send out actual  DVDs?


Cheers,

Stewart


They will come on DVD's. 8  gig total. You will need Thunderbird running
on your computer. Under Tools  it should have "ImportExportTools" command.


Paul Lamar


There is an "Import" button under "Tools" but it appears to only let you
import settings and mail from Outlook Express.

Don


Not a good sign. This may not work.

Do you know how to do a screen capture?
Are you familiar with the use of Windows explorer?

This is the hangup we had before.

Check with the Thunderbird  web site and see if there is an enhanced
IMPORT EXPORT plug in for thunder bird windows version.
