How do I access MSN Mail "folders on my computer" via Outlook?

[David V.]

I am trying to move from MSN mail to use Outlook. When I set up Outlook, my
mail folders on the MSN network were automatically moved into Outlook. My
"folders on my computer" files, however, did not make the trip and I wish to
access them via Outlook.

Thanks.

You'll need to copy the mail back to the msn folders to see it in outlook -
you can then copy it into other folders in outlook to get it out of the
mailbox.

OK. Thank you, that is helpful. But there is more: Can I create new
folders in Outlook that are "offline"? Also, my "files on my computer"
folder in MSN may overload the capacity of my MSN folders; which is why I
store them offline in MSN. Any solution for that issue with Outlook?

Yes. File, New, Outlook data file.

Move them to a new data file. Or upgrade to a 2GB account.
