You have two options that I can think of. The most expedient method woud be to go where OE saves it's data. You will have to check in the settings to see where that is, and simply copy out those database files. You could then restore those "full" databases at a later time if need be. But, you would have to overwrite whatever your current databases are. Plus, the databases are proprietary so if you ever needed to restore an email and OE no longer existed you may be out of luck.

I suggest just copying all of the emails you want to back up out of OE and into a folder on your hard drive. It should create individual files for each email. The one drawback to this method is that it won't save attachments.
