How can I back up my email files?

How can I email a 'Folder' of files from a major email host; or which 'Free File...?

  • ...Hosting Site' accepts 'Folder' uploads? I'm using Win XP on one and Win Vista on a second PC. I've been trying to send my family a group of photos and I don't have time to upload them one at a time. When I try to email a 'Folder' of files, I can only open a single file from 'Browse'.

  • Answer:

    Open the folder where the files are located. Select them all. Right-click one of them. Select "Send To>", then pick "Compressed (zipped) folder". When processing is done, you will have a single file that contains all of the files you selected. It'll be in the folder with the photos, and will have the same name as your first photo, but the icon will look like a folder with a zipper on it. E-mail this to your family. They can open it on their PCs so long as they're running Windows XP or better.

The only way to email a folder is to compress the folder. The way to do this in XP is to right click on the folder, go to 'send to', and then 'compress folder'. There are also many programs out there that will do this as well.

You should look at photo sharng websites. Y!s' site is Flickr.com. One of their features is an uploader tool. Drop & Drag the jpgs into it, and batch upload 'em. Or, attach them via the A-N Mail - I had a Folder of pics from my digicam (50mB). It attached them all (at reduced size). Took less than 2 megs - still were quite clear.

create anaddress that's in your address bar where they can find them. It might be real long, the address, but i think it will work. Like what is the web address of the files you want to send, you know what I mean, use the above address bar at the top of the page.
