In Outlook Express, is there a way to print out all the messages in my inbox at once? The only way I know is to print them all individually, and with 100+ messages, this can be a real pain.

Well, I couldn’t figure out any way to do it in Outlook Express, but, it looks like it’s fairly simple to print a bunch of messages using Eudora. (I can’t actually test my theory, because I don’t have a printer)

In Eudora, I highlighted a bunch of messages, and then selected print. It seemed like it would have worked, if I had a printer. In Outlook Express if you have more than one message highlighted, it grays out the print button.

So, it may be easier to export your inbox to Eudora and then batch print from there than to print each message individually.
