If we are thinking of suing somebody, and there is e-mail correspondence between us, can I save that e-mail and use it in court?

Yes, e-mails can be use in court as evidence. When the Internet became so popular that people was using the chat rooms to meet other people. A couple (wife) used her husband e-mails as proof he was having an affair online with another woman in a divorce case and won.

Sure they can. The other party will try to prove the e-mails are fake. You may have to produce the whole computer for examination by experts.

I think ANYTHING can be used as evidence, as long as it's incriminating and relevant to the case.

Yes, as long as they meet one of the hearsay exceptions.

I think it can be used as evidence, but it doesn't stand alone as proof.
