How do you copy e-mail folders in Outlook Express on to a CD?

I use Outlook Express for my e-mail. I have individual e-mails filed in about 15 folders ranging in size from 5 e-mails to 500 e-mails per folder. What I want to do is to copy the folders onto a CD (or several CDs).

Sounds so simple!!!!!!

    The files you need to copy are all of the *.dbx files, which are normally located under \Windows\Application Data\Identities\<Your user>\Microsoft\Outlook Express

    Just do a search for all .dbx files- then drag & drop em onto the writable CD folder...
