Hi

I use Windows Live Mail installed on my PC.

Is there some way I can save the emails, including any attachments
to a folder on an external dive?

Thanks

Daniel

Yes you can. Windows Live Mail stored all your mail messages with extention .eml by default in :
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\YourMailAccount\inbox

If a mail message has attachments, it is also included in the message. Just copy these files to the external drive.

FYI, You can also change the mail storage location to another drive:
File->Options->Mail->Advanced->Maintenance->Store Folder
