Re: [IRCA] OT: downloading emails

[Russ Edmunds <wb2bjh@xxxxxxxxx>]

As much as I dislike Microsoft Outlook for its ease of being spammed, you can download to Outlook, then disable the internet connection and then read emails later without internet connection. Or at least you could a few years back when I last tried it. I still have an Outlook .pst file with several years' worth of messages I downloaded when I gave Hotmail the boot.
