How can I get my e-mail from inbox and the send to a flash drive? I tried going to each folder inbox and send and copy and pastng to a folder but got an error about a long filename.
If you are wanting to back up your inbox messages to a removable storage device, use the Outlook "Export" tool: File >> Import and Export >> Export to a file >> Personal Folder File (.pst)
However, using a pen drive/flash drive for storing backups is not advised as they are not reliable enough for that. Use an external hard drive or a second internal hard drive instead.
I was hoping file transfer wizard would work.
If all you want is your email, then do as Phil suggested. The wizard is pretty straightforward and will walk you through step-by-step.
