I was browsing my old email folder on my old (ie: pre-G4, pre-new iMac)
iMac, looking for a confirming email giving the registration code for
some software I bought.....
And found a crop of emails from Windy. And a number of other regulars,
past and present, about this and that.
Normally I tend to purge personal emails older than a year or so, but
when they're sitting on an old machine they stay there.
How long do people tend to keep personal emails for, anyway?

That sounds like rather good practice or being slightly anal. I'm not
sure which.

Sent-mail, indefinitely (dating back to mid 1998)
Received mail, indefinitely, but only if it's interesting. So not much
really.

For ever. I have mails going back to the late 80s, work and personal.
Having just finished with my current employer, I brought home 9GB of mail
on a flipdisk in various pst files, which have been integrated into my home
mail setup and backed up.
Call me anal....doesn't take much effort if you're organised about it
though.

On that topic.... anyone know how to export Outlook Express Folders? I've
had a furtle round and can't seem to find any sort of utility.

You use Outlook for home email?
