Attaching A Folder To An Email
10 Answers
Hi,
I need to forward a number of emails to the legal ombudsman, but I have no idea how to do this.
I have all the emails in a folder in my emails, so would have thought there would be a way to attach the entire folder to an email and send it?
Is it actually possible to do this ?
Many Thanks,
Zuber.

Folders are rather strange in that, as collection of files, they don't actually exist! They're a bit like the index pages at the back of a book, which allow you to quickly go to straight to where you want but don't actually contain the relevant pages/files. So you can't email a folder, as such.
To email all your documents as a single file you need to put them into a 'zipped' file (which, confusingly, Windows still calls a 'folder'):
Go to the folder that contains all your documents.
Then go to Organize > Select All. (That will highlight everything in the folder).
Right-click on any file and select Send To > Compressed (Zipped) Folder.
That will create a file which you'll be able to email.
The recipient can then double-click on that file in order to decompress it and see the original document files.

Methyl's method will work as long as
(a) you're using an email client (such as Outlook Express, Thunderbird or Windows Live Mail) rather than a web-based email service; AND
(b) you simply want to email all the documents as individual files, rather than grouping them into a single file.
i.e. if you do it my way the recipient will receive a single file (such as casedocuments.zip), whereas if you do it Methyl's way the recipient will receive all of your original documents (such as bankletter1.docx, reply1.docx, bankletter2.docx, etc).

Good points, Methyl.
It's also unclear as to how Zubar is accessing those emails. The options available in some web-based systems are far fewer than using some email clients.
It might be simplest to copy the text of the emails into Word documents (or possibly a single Word document) and then email those/that document(s).
