Use
That CD
If you followed the
tip about backing up your e-mails, you may be wondering how you're supposed
to actually read those e-mails once the backup process is done. Have you?
Well, wonder no more, because here is your answer!
So, you've got the CD you used
to back up your e-mails. When you created it (burnt the information onto
the CD), you probably chose to make a data CD or whatever your burning
software called for.
Go ahead and put the
CD in your computer and your system should recognize it and open up a
window. It will prompt you to open up your CD drive (usually F:),
but if it doesn't, double click on your My Computer icon and find your
CD drive and double click on that as well. A new window will open and
all of the e-mails you saved should be listed there.

You can double click
on whichever one you want to read and go from there. If you want to rename
the e-mails so you have a better idea of which is which, you can do that
as well. Just highlight the e-mail you want to name, right click and choose
Rename. You can then type in whatever name you want to use. That
will help you keep track of the e-mails. If you decide you want to delete
one off the CD, right click on it again and choose Delete.
All of your e-mails are a quick
"pop in the CD and a few clicks" away!
