Can I save email to cd/disc?

Answer 1

No, but you can save it on Notead, Wordpad, Word and similar program and then save on a disk.

Answer 2

You mean web mail, like Yahoo's or Hotmail's?

Yes, you can... in fact there are three ways of doing it.

1.) One at a time
When you're looking at your e-mail in your browser, click on File, then Save As..., choose *where* you want to save it, and choose *what* you're going to call it. Click on Save.

2.) 10 - 20 at a time
Grab Firefox and a couple add-ons called "Adblock Plus" and "AJAX Yahoo! Mail [Viamatic WebMail++]" - all three are free.

*Firefox - because it allows add-ons and is faster (and safer) than IE - http://getfirefox.com/
*Adblock Plus because it blocks ads from downloading. - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1865/
*Ajax Yahoo Mail because it allows you to open 10 - 20 e-mails on the same page. - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1127/

Using these you click on the [+] next to each message to open it on the same page. Once you have all of them open, save the page using #1's instructions.

Do to Yahoo putting in aggressive JavaScript that tries to get you to go to your Yahoo e-mail when you view the e-mails you've downloaded, you might want to set your browser to "Offline" while looking at them.

3.) All of them
Grab Thunderbird and a couple add-ons called "Webmail" and "Webmail:Yahoo" (or hotmail, or gmail, or aol...).
*Thunderbird because it's fast, secure, and customizable - http://getthunderbird.com/
*Webmail because it's the basis for the Webmail:Yahoo - http://webmail.mozdev.org/installation.html
*Webmail:Yahoo because it allows you to get your Yahoo e-mails from Yahoo without having to pay for POP3 access. - http://webmail.mozdev.org/installation.html

Once installed according to the directions on the site, you'll be able to grab all the e-mails in your Inbox, and you can add folders easily as well.

After you've grabbed all the e-mails you want, they're on your computer. Where depends on what OS you're running. Look it up here:
