Can I read and receive emails in CVS files with windows XP home. I do not have excel?

Do you mean CSV files? You can open them in notepad. Basically a CSV stands for comma separated values - simply a table of items separated by commas. If it is a small file, you might be able to get the information you need that way. Otherwise, you need a spreadsheet program to read them. If you don't have one installed, you can use one online. Here's one option - http://www.irows.com/xo/Welcome.do

You can actually open a .cvs file with Microsoft Word. Save the file somewhere on your computer, open Microsoft Word, go to File and Open and change file types to All Files (*.*), find the file and it will open, be readable, and printable.
