Possbl link to 'my documents' & save emails & docs from outlook?

[Canguingo]

I'd like to make a folder in my Outlook that is linked to my storage
structure (for instance 'my documents') in order to drug save my emails in
one go in a particular folder from my explorer. Without have to clik in
File>Save as>... and only with Outlook opened.

Just curious; why do you want to store your e-mails outside of Outlook in
the first place?

Thanks for taking time to respond my question.

The idea is that I should save some important emails (business related) in a
folder system in 'my documents'. In case I need to look for documentation,
scanned one or emails I have to look only in 'my documents' folder structure.
And not in two places (folder structure and outlook).

It is a kind of saving time by saving the documents in 'my documents'
structure directly from Outlook in Outlook (or having only Outlook opened)
and getting a copy in 'my documents' structure at the same time.

You see?

Alright, well you can keep your Explorer open with the folderlist showing
and use drag & drop from Outlook into the Explorer screen to quickly save
the item as an msg-file. Some VBA programming might help you do the same
without having an Explorer screen open all the time.

Another way to go would to install a search tool that indexes both your
Outlook items and My Documents folder. WDS can do this for you. The benefit
of this is that you don't have to duplicate items, manually sort things and
keep the items in the best location and format to store them in.

Ok thank you very much. What do you mean with VBA and WDS???

But in any case is not possible to create a link in my outlook, or maybe
with the 'VBA and WDS'??

Thanks again

VBA; Visual Basic for Applications. It allows you to program specific
functionality in Outlook yourself. Handy if you know some VB(A) code.

WDS; Windows Desktop Search

You can create shortcuts to Explorer folders in Outlook 2003 in the Shortcut
Navigation.
