    Love these jump drive storage sticks, but i cannot figure out how to store my email stuff. Tried to create another folder within "outlook" but still could't transfer it to my jump drive.

    why can't you just do a backup through outlook and choose to save it to the usb drive? I don't use outlook, but I've had to do backups on my bosses computers and I think this should work. Alternately, just copy the .pst files. They're hidden in some nasty folder (like Application Data), Google will tell you where.

    You need to go to Archive, and select All Folders and Subfolders. Change the archive date to the current one (so that all emails are archived into a single .pst file)

    Then select your USB stick from the list so that it saves it there. Hope that helps.
