do you want to export them?
To a file?
In general, there is no difference between the portable version and the locale one in terms of handling your emails. They are just stored in a different place. So it should work the same as in a local version.

I do not use the locale. I have not been able to find where the emails are stored.

Thanks, I found the file, but I am using a MAC OS 10.4.1. The files only appeared after rgt click and show package contents. Then I could not find any way to open the files in entourage.
You could have said that in your first post...
There is a tutorial about this on the Entourage page.
Providing as much info as possible always helps us to give you the answer/help you need. Thats just a tip for next time

I do not use the local version. I have not been able to find the folder, or file where the emails are stored.
