How do you save messages to your hard drive using Outlook Express?

I've got thousands of messages & want to save them to my hard drive so I can delete them from my mail program. I've attempted it using Microsoft's instructions & I managed to do it...however, they are not in an easily readable format nor did they retain my original organization. Any guidance is greatly appreciated!
