It's been a while but I think this should do it...

File > Export > Select where you wish to save them from and the file should be made. Again I could be wrong on this so a double check by someone else could be handy:D

Go to your document folder, be sure to check view hidden folders and files. Go to the application data folder, go to the identities folder. There, you can finde a folder with reg. numbers. Go in there you can find the out look xpress folder. Go in. There you can find inbox. dbx and other OE folders. copy those files (Inbox.dbx) to somewhere, then you have a backed up files of OE folders. Just copy tyhat file to the original folder, then you can have all your mails back.
