    Best way to copy all emails without opening each one

    I know absolutely nothing about using Outlook....is there a way to copy the contents of all email folders to a thumb drive?

    A lady here at work tried to just copy the folders by selecting and copying, but the contents did not come with it in a format that can be read. There are hundreds of emails on a former employee's computer(he was fired this past Monday) here at work that we need to save.



    EDIT: Domski's code worked great!

    I was going to adapt some code I'd written but this seems to do the job far better:

    Thought would post my effort anyway, borrowing DRJ's function for stripping out the illegal characters:
