Dear CNET members, Every week, I received a huge number of technical questions from you, and I thank you for all of them. While all of the submissions are wonderful, I encourage those of you who are participating in this newsletter to check out our Q&A guidelines before you send a question or an answer to me. This will not only help me tremendously in deciding which questions to present to you, but it will also help in making my final decisions on the answers each week. Just remember, the more details you can provide me, the better. Thank you! Now let's tackle Mary's question about exporting and importing those e-mails she has from work to home. Mary since we are unclear on the version of Microsoft Outlook you are using, this week's winning answer by Dana offers advice assuming that you are using the latest version of Microsoft Outlook and not Outlook Express.

If anyone out there has any other recommendations--whether it be a software utility or a method of importing or exporting e-mails in Outlook--please join us and share. We'd all appreciate this information!

Check out next week's question:

What is better for taking photos of wildlife and other faraway objects, a 4-megapixel camera with a 10X zoom or a 6- or 7-megapixel camera with 3X zoom, with which I could crop and enlarge and still have a good image at a final print size of 5x7 or 8x10. Thanks.
