Transfering email to my computer

Postby AJV » Tue Mar 24, 2009 6:25 am

Do any of you guys know how do I transfer email messages (incoming and outgoing) from comcast to my computer?
I am switching my internet provider and I don't want to lose my email messages.
My computer runs on Windows XP Home Edition
if that helps.

Thanks. :)

If you use an e-mail program like Outlook you can download your messages. They will still be in the program when you switch providers. This site purports to give instructions on how to set up Outlook Express for Comcast e-mail. I don't have Comcast so I don't know if these instructions are good or not, but they look alright.
