I have the same problem with this error number.

Can you please walk me through the steps as to how to move mail to be saved
to a local folder I would create?

You also note for future use to not archive mail in the Inbox. Rather, you
advise to create your own user defined folders and move the messages you wish
to save to them. Can you please give me the steps on how to do this?

Thanks again for all of your posts and information on this topic.

In OE: File | New | Folder. Name it | Clock on Local Folders | OK.

Open the Inbox. Click on one message header to highlight it and the Ctrl + A
will highlight them all.

Left click on these messages and drag them to the folder you just created.
Make more folders if need be and use these for storing messages you do not
want to delete rather than keeping them in the Inbox or Sent Items.

Create the new Inbox as previously mentioned.
