Default Backing up folders

Without getting too technical, can someone please tell me how best to move
email to a flash drive or hard drive to clear some space in my mailbox? Help
instructions say to 'compact' the folder, which I did. Then it says to find
the folder and copy it to the hard drive or a disk. First, where do I "find
the folder" with the .dbx extension? If I just do a copy - when I do locate
it - then how would I access it later? Import back? If I need to keep each
and every single email on a flashdrive, is copying each email over, one at a
time, the only way to do that?

I'm a freelance consultant so would like to be able to carry these emails
around with me when I go to meetings or my clients' offices. How best to do
that?

Thanks, in advance,
Paula
