Saving emails to folder on hard drive

[jswinberlin]

In MS Outlook, you can set up folders for different emails. Is there a way to have emails sent to a folder that is outside of Outlook and on the hard drive?

I have a fax machine that is routing all faxes to email. I would like to have them in a folder for back up.

Thanks for any help!

The easiest thing to do would be to create a new folder in Outlook and use mail rules to have them delivered there. So you would have inbox, outbox, sent items, deleted items, and one that you create, say you call it faxes.

I would then use the following utility to backup Outlook when you exit. After installing, go to file>backup, it will pop up, and you can specify how often it should remind you, and where you want to save the file. From that point on, just go to file>backup>save.

Please always take the time to backup any and all data before performing any actions suggested for ANY problem, regardless of how minor a change it might seem. Also test the backup to make sure it is intact.
