You can attach compressed/zip folders to your message just like files you do in all web based email services. Let us see how to that...

Right-click on the folder or file , select "Send To" and then "Compressed Zip folder" as shown below

Windows compress the folder /file you selected and create compressed folder with the same name next to original folder or in the same window.
Attach the compressed zip folder to your email message and send it.

    Today I have opened my MS Outlook Express. I was put out and didn't know what to do next,because of my emails had been corrupted. Luckily I used the Internet and noticed there an interesting software - outlook express e-mail recovery. The program determined my trouble for a minute and completely easy. I am very glad now...

    Yeah, that's great for zipping & sending a folder with WinZip but the receiver has to have WinZip to open the folder and that costs $$.

    That's a great way to send a folder. But it's a bummer that the receiver has to purchase WinZip to open it.
