Windows Live Mail: Backup and Restore Emails in sub-folder files - a simple way

Sometimes we may create folders or sub-folders in our Windows Live Mail to store our important emails as records or references. Personally I have used more than 10 self-created folders to classify my important or interested received emails. Thus, it is very important for me to figure out a better way to backup these stored emails. 

 

In order to backup these emails in an extra hard disk, all we need is to simply find these folders and duplicate (Copy and Paste) them in another place.

 

BACK-UP

1. Firstly, you need to selection the option to view invisible folders.

Open 'my computer' -> Tools (type Alt if you did see it) -> Click 'folder options...' -> View -> select "Show hidden files, folders, and drivers".

SALE EBAY.COM.MY\\SAN JOSE and PREAUTH SALE PAYPAL Transactions

I must admit that I was frustrated when I saw some strange debit transactions after using Paypal and Ebay on 18 April 2013 as follows :

SALE EBAY.COM.MY\\SAN JOSE\number DATED 18/04/13 RM3.00PREAUTH SALE PAYPAL\\number\ DATED 18/04/13 US$1.00 RM1.02
Even though I cannot find any official information these kinds of transaction from Paypal and Ebay website, some people highlighted that these were for verification only and will be refunded after few weeks. Since the amount is now significant, I decided to wait and see.
 

Link Maybank Debit Card to Paypal for eBay purchase from Malaysia

Finally, I have successfully made my first purchase from eBay. Undeniable, there are plenty goods available in eBay that are quite difficult to be find in local. The main problem I faced was to make a payment to sellers.

 

The most widely accepted payment method in eBay may be Paypal. Interestingly, some sellers only allow Paypal verified members to be their customers for security issues. Thus, Paypal appears to be indispensable for us to make a deal in eBay.

 

For international purchases, US dollar may be the most convenient currency. Due to the fact that I cannot convert my RM (Malaysia dollar) to US dollar in my Paypal account, the use of credit card appears to be my last resort. For consumers who do not have a credit card, debit card is now accepted by Paypal to make payment. Nonetheless, please make sure you have enough balance in my saving account when you use your debit card.

 

The following three steps summarise the ways I used to buy my interested goods from eBay.
 

Spot and Remove Spam Reply to Increase the Quality of your Websites
