Burn Email to CD

I file selective emails in specific mailboxes in my email. Most are routine, but some I need to save and find it very time consuming to place them in small amounts in a hard drive file and then burn to a CD. Is there a better way to do this? Are there instructions somewhere that would explain a more efficient way to do this? A tutorial?

Any recommendations will be helpful. Most of what I found via search here on discussion site were outdated and don't look applicable.

Thanks for any help!

1. With Finder active, go to File / New Burn Folder.

This ceates a folder on your desktop - Burn Folder.fpbf.

2. Drag anything you want to burn in to that folder.

3. When you have collected what you want to burn in that folder, with Finder active, go to File / Burn "Burn Folder.fpbf" to disc.

4. Follow the directions for burning.

Note that in step 1, you can change the name of the folder - in the usual way. If you do that, the instruction in step 3. will show the new name, and will become the name of the CD.

When you are done with the burn you should trash the Burn Folder - its contents are aliases, so nothing is lost.

EUSTACE! Your name should be YOU-stace, because YOU ROCK! Perfect answer and thank you way too much!

You can see how pleased I am. I struggle with things for the longest time trying to learn it for myself, but there is SO much to learn and it's been 3 years and I'll continue to learn for many more, I know.

I used Windows for 25+ years and was the go-to person with all questions windows related so I even more appreciate you being able to give that solid answer! Should I talk to someone? Can I get you a raise!

Thanks so much for your help and being a part of the community!
