Is there a way to burn MSN/hotmail email to a cd? I am running close to capacity and do not want to pay them more money for extra space. I would like to "archieve" old messages and the best way seems to be to burn the messages to a CD.
Any problems with that? Is there a better way (asides from spening $$)?

Thanks,

You can save the pages to your hard drive or cut and past individual messages to a text editor and then burn the files. I know it seems time consuming but that is the only thing that comes to mind.

i *think* you can export your hotmail to outlook/outlook express (not sure about other mail pacakge). Then you can burn that onto cd..

If you have outlook xp full version, you can set it up to get your email from hotmail. Then just drag all the emails from hot mail to your outlook xp inbox. Then your hotmail box is now empty and you have all your mails saved locally if you just want to save the e-mail. To burn them to cd, you can use File > Import and Export from the outlook xp menu and make all of your inbox into an Access DB and burn the .mdb to a CD ;)
