Guest guest Posted January 26, 2001 Report Share Posted January 26, 2001 Thank you, Elly, That is the 2nd plus I have heard this week for Outlook. hey hey! And today, when going to view some jokes someone sent me, it came up to be viewed in Outlook. I didn't even know I had it! So, now, I am looking into using it. I am using the AOL one now, and have folders set up like you say. My problem is I have over 20 megs of saved emails. I know this is a lot and don't know what to do. Just grin and live with them? At current I have 6200+ emails saved. ~Rainy Sue > I have Outlook Express and it allows me to set up folders, so I've got a > folder for RA articles, etc that i want to keep.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2001 Report Share Posted January 26, 2001 Hey, that's 3 for Outlook Express! =) I need to figure out, now, how to get my AOL mail using it. I am not quite sure how to set that up. Any takers? I also do as you say, . I am constantly on a deleting spree! I have folders set up for all my friends, mailings lists, RA, etc. Over 6200 emails is a lot to go through, in the meantime, collecting more. I try to delete all the ones I know I don't want as I get them. Sometimes, I don't have the time. So, I guess Outlook has it. I just need to learn it. =) Thanks Everyone!

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2001 Report Share Posted January 26, 2001 Yes, that is what I am using. I am just looking for other options. I have all the folders set up and all that. I am organized. My main question was what do you keep, what do you save, do you print. etc. But I have also been wondering about other mail programs, so that got mixed in, too. =) ~Rainy Sue > Doesn't AOL give you some type of filing system, Rainy?

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2001 Report Share Posted January 26, 2001 I have Outlook Express and it allows me to set up folders, so I've got a folder for RA articles, etc that i want to keep. I can also subdivide the general RA folder into subfolders for more specific " filing " /organization! Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2001 Report Share Posted January 26, 2001 As Elly does, Rainy Sue, I use Outlook Express, too. I have things arranged in folders. I try not to save too much. Remember, the archives have everything from February of 2000 on and they are searchable. If a posts an article with a link that I want to save (and there are LOTS of those), I just bookmark the link in Internet Explorer (which is the browser I use). Please, Lord, don't ever let me lose my bookmarks! This discussion is reminding me that now is a good time to backup those valuable tidbits. To know where to file the information, I ask myself why I am saving something. For example, if it pertains to how RA affects the hands, I have a " Hands " folder. If it is information on a particular medication, it goes into my " Drugs " folder. I get very specific in many instances, so I can find what I need quickly. I've never printed out anything and filed it. The idea of creating more paperwork in my house right now makes me shudder. It also helps once in awhile to weed out old and useless stuff if you come across it. If you wonder why you saved it in the first place, DELETE. Sometimes when I go into a folder, I take a quick scan and see what I can get rid of.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2001 Report Share Posted January 26, 2001 Doesn't AOL give you some type of filing system, Rainy?

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2001 Report Share Posted January 28, 2001 Make that 4! I am set up just like . Outlook express is a great program. You can even create message rules and have posts from people show up in different colors. My moms mail comes in red, so I can't miss it. You can even create a rule so that when the mail is downloaded, it goes right into a specific folder. It help keep things organized. a ----- Original Message ----- From: <Rysu19@...> < > Sent: Friday, January 26, 2001 2:46 PM Subject: Re: [ ] Saving RA posts > Hey, that's 3 for Outlook Express! =) I need to figure out, now, how to get > my AOL mail using it.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2001 Report Share Posted January 28, 2001 Now, I like that!!! that your mail will go into specified folders. That is my huge problem with getting disorganized now. I have to put everything I want to keep in their special folder and that takes so much time! I must figure out how to use this with AOL. =) Thanks You Guys! ~Rainy Sue =) > Make that 4!
