Question about Outlook Express

I had an error uploading a file to SkyDrive through an Internet connection from my Surface PRO. The filename + the path on the SkyDrive was too long. I did not have time to correct it then. I stopped everything and shut down correctly. Later I came back and whenever started the Surface PRO this long name error came up - asked to correct it. Clicked OK and then it took me into a "Getting Stated" with SkyDrive scenario. After canceling that a couple of times as it was persistent.  I attempted to reinstall the SkyDrive Desktop. But it went through the same sequence. The Cloud icon was gone and not appearing in the pop up tray in the lower right hand side.

So I exited out of Windows Explorer from other devices that was using that program to point to the same SkyDrive account. I renamed the offending "long name" error folder. I rebooted the Surface PRO. It gave me the same issue at start up. I went ahead and clicked ok and followed the "Getting Started" SkyDrive sequence out to completion. I noticed that the SkyDrive cloud icon appeared and it delivered the message that it was "processing updated files" or something similar.

Now the odd thing is that I can access SkyDrive on the Surface PRO through Windows Explorer and can see ALL OF THE FILES I have uploaded and folders created. But when I go to any other device such as my work PC and connect to SkyDrive using Windows Explorer NONE of the files/folders uploaded and created through the Surface PRO session can be seen by the other device.

Anyone have any clues to solve this?

I would like to be able to have a macro/button in Outlook that allows me to store the email in my Windows Explorer folders (not the Outlook folders) on my computer locally. To be really cool it would give me the option of conversion of the email to a PDF for storage. I save 1000's of emails ever year and I have a complex Windows Explorer folder set up that enalbles me to choose from 100's of different folders and subfolders and to creat a new one at any time - hey its Windows Explorer. Windows Explorer is a fantastic tool, easy to use, easy to search, easy to change and you can store all types of files from anywhere... Outlook will not do that and Outlook administrators are always trying to get you to minimize your storage. Moreover accessing files / emails in Windows Explorer is just easier and if you store them offline in the cloud and they are PDF's you can look at them anywhere without signing in to email.

Currently I use Adobe to convert the email to a pdf and save it in the appropriate Windows Explorer file and it works just fine, but I would like to do it faster and I would also like the option to just put a copy of the email in the Windows Explorer folder. I can right click and copy an email and paste it in Windows Explorer and it is accessable easily and I can even change the name of the email and all I have to do to read it is double click the email file in Windows Explorer..

I think there is lots of functionality that could be added for users if Microsoft would integrate Windows Explorer and Outlook better and the creation of PDF copies of emails.

Anyone know of a 3rd party product that does this already?

Thanks
