I save emails twice; as an email and as text. Both are saved to a file I
call Genmail. That file has subfiles for each major line plus a couple for
general genealogy emails. This way I'll still have at least the text if my
email program bites dust.

Subject: [TMG] Where to store emails


I've been thinking about how and where to store emails that are used as
sources in my TMG project. The way I see it, there are 4 options:

1. Keep all the emails in an email program like Outlook or Outlook Express
(which I guess is dead now)
2. Keep the emails online on Yahoo mail, Gmail, Hotmail, etc
3. Copy and paste into Word (or another word processing program) and save on
hard drive
4. Print out the emails and keep paper copies
...Are there are other options? How do some of you do it? I'm always afraid
the emails could be lost if I don't print them or save them in Word (which
would be backed up regularly), but what a hassle. I like them online so I
can access them anywhere anytime, but I'm afraid that a glitch may make them
disappear.

Thanks for your ideas.
Kaye
