I havn't used windows in a while and specialy not outlook express, but I believe there was a place where the emails are stored in a database file... as I havn't used outlook for years i've had to google it, and since I don't run windows i can't confirm that the files are actualy stored here... however:

From the Outlook Express menu select Tools | Options | Maintenance and click the StoreFolder button. You see a dialog with the name of the directory that has your mail files. If you look in that directory you find files named after your mail folders and news groups. They all have a .DBX suffix. Outlook Express keeps all messages in these database files. If you make copies of these files regularly, you'll have a safe backup of your OE mail.

Personaly I love Gmail, so mcuh storage space you will never run out, you can view emails through webbrowser from anywhere, or download them to outlook (or any other email program) and still leave them on the gmail server, so you always have a copy.
