How do my Inbox contents

[GAZ]

I need to format the hard drive but before I do I would like to make a copy
of all my e-mails that are in my "inbox" and also the "sent box" on a
separate CDRWdisc so I can refer to them only . I can't seem to do this you
appear to only be able to work within the confines of Outlook Express. i.e.
you can not copy the inbox folder to a named folder on the desk top or C
drive Can anyone help
