Hi !

I would like to pass on all my job related e-mails to my substitute (hundreds of mails in a folder).

I am looking for a way to forward an entire folder , or to download an entire folder (and then pass on the downloaded folder).

Thank you very much in advance !

drag the contents to a thumb drive and drag them back at the other end is by far the easiest method

usb drive, thumb drive or as my daughter calls them "A USB" one of those $5 drives you plug into a USB port.

Hi again,

Thanks for clearing that :)

Something is still not working for me though.

I went into a folder, pressed cntrl+A and dragged it into a folder on my computer (I assume this is the same as onto a DOK). I've now got a .mailtoloc file on my computer. I tried to drag it back into a different folder to see that the loop works but it won't let me drag it back or import it (through tools>import).

Any suggestions regarding what I'm doing wrong ? :/

Thanks again for all of this help.
