possible automatic save to drive based on folder
What I would like to do is i have several mail folders in outlook: folder1, folder2, folder3, etc. I want to be able to have any emails I place in these folders saved to the harddrive in a given folder. i.e. I want to set folder1 to save in c:\folders\folder 1 emails\, folder2 to save in c:\folders\folder 2 emails. Is this possible? If so, how???? I would like to do it without any extra steps other than sorting my email as normal by dragging into the folders. Also, I would prefer to be able to set up each folder to go to a different place.

Sorry, should have mentioned mail is through an exchange server and I would like to keep them on the network.
Also, rules already move some of the mails into their corresponding folders, but most cannot be categorized but by hand; this is not really that big of a problem, the issue is I would like to store a copy of these emails on a local drive for use with another program.

Both methods above will work for local storage. The first will attach a 2nd (local) .pst file and the other method is self explanatory.
Just use a right mouse button drag or a Ctrl-Drag to get the copy.

Do you want to create rules in outlook so the emails are moved to specific folders ?
Have you tried this ?
create a folder in your desktop or anywhere. Drag the emails from whatever folder you want to that new folder. once you open that new folder , you would see all your emails as individual files. you can do the same for other folders aswell.
