Dear sirs,

Could you please tell me, in simple terms, how I can 'export'
some of my Inbox subfolders to My Documents?

I've had the exasperating experience of seeing the OE compactor
become a deleter... and couldn't catch it in time. It did this for two of
my valued Inbox subfolders. ( I will try to apply your posted advice to
see if I can possibly retrieve them).

Re the back up: I have looked at File: - Export, but it gives no
destination,
I don't want to use it until I know for sure what the process and
result will be.

I have saved 'one file at a time' to certain folders in My Docs, but that's
far too time-consuming.

Thanks,
mn
