Where are e-mails stored on a computer?

My computer runs Windows XP, and I use Outlook Express for all my emails (which are then deleted from my ISP's servers). I want to make a copy of the files for these emails, but have not yet been able to track down the directory in which they are stored. Have you any suggestions where to look?

    They should be in a directory something like: C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook and that should have all the received mail in it. Or at least, according to a website I found it should. Sorry if I've ended up finding you entirely the wrong thing, though.
