can't transfer files from one folder to another without...

My Hotmail Plus account is getting full and I need to
transfer some files out of my inbox to somewhere else.

Last two times I moved files to another folder, OE marked all the letters as
unread and "0KB" for a file size for each and every letter making it
necessary to reopen them all, waiting as each one downloaded, etc.

For the record, is there a way to take files out of Hotmail and store them
in a way that will make room for more storage? And do it without closing
all the mail?

Thanks. This newsgroup has been a source of great help to me over the years
and I thank those of you that have given your time to helping clueless guys
like me.
