There's been a break-in in my neighborhood, which got me to thinking about what would happen if my computer got stolen. I back up my picture and document files regularly onto flash drives and cds, and I just learned how to export my bookmarks to a file that I can also back up, but I can't figure out if there's a way to save my emails in a bulk fashion. I generally have about 50 messages saved that I need to respond to...I could copy and paste them individually, but since I back up files frequently, it would be nice to not have to copy and paste individual email messages. Is there a way to do this en masse?

I'm not very computer savvy but I'm eager to learn. Thanks so much for any help you can provide!
