I need help with an E-mail problem.
ok so at home we have the microsoft outlock 2003. and we wanted to save all the E-mails somewhere besides on the computer (incase it chrashes or something) so me and my dad sat down and tried to fix this. now, we found a guide on the internet (even though we didn't understand anthing about it) and finally managed to find the import/export option on the outlock program. so we clicked export files, as PTS (or PST) file and saved it at a small carryable memory.
now you ask yourself, why did I post this here? because I want to find out if this is how we should do, did we do right, if not how should we do instead.
and my other question to you is: how do wedo to get them into another computer?
Please help if you know how to fix this.
and this is in the tavern and not VW is because I don't want any spam here.

transfer on writable discs, floppy, zip, or flashdrive.
I dont know about outlook and what format the saved files would be in so I cant help you there.. It would be nice if it was saved as text documents, but its probably saved in a format you can only use with another computer with microsoft outlook.

well, we tried just copying it onto a cd or portable memory but it didn't work, a message popped up saying something about it being unable to move cause the program forbid it.

With normal Microsoft Outlook, you should be able to save an email as "*msg" file on your harddrive. Just open a mail through Outlook, click top left on menu bar "File", "Save as..." and then chose "*msg" as file extension.
Those files now can be copied or burned on a cd.

Only such problems force me to think about some softwares. Couple days ago I remembered about the one. It is able to assist with almost all types of complicated situation associated with ms outlook emails - [url=http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/repair_outlook_2003_pst_file.html]repair pst outlook 2003[/url].

One time when I was trying to save a bunch of emails I mass printed them as a single .xps document. This puts them as text on one page. I don't use outlook but I bet it is possible.
