Bought an WD Passport

I bought a WD passport external hard drive to back up all my files.
I can get everything backed up but the emails, I tried everything to find a way to back them up or copy them over to the WD and it wont allow me.
Any suggestions. Are they hid in a folder somewhere?
Thanks so much !

What e-mail program? Most of them have an export-import function.

Try to "archive" them all to the WD.

Hopefully Outlook Express has it, but if you go to your "Tools" menu, then down to "mailbox cleanup" it will be in there under Archiving.

You basically select where you want the info to be stored at, the frequency or archiving, etc.
