How to save emails outside of outlook, not archived function?

[sharon]

How can you save emails outside of outlook. We can not use the archive
function as IT is purging all emails >2yrs and apparently our archived
folders will be deleted too.

thanks

you can drag to a folder in windows explorer
use a tool that exports the messages as html - see

if you use acrobat, save as a pdf package
select a group of messages and File, Save as Text - see

Reconsider your attempt to circumvent your company's mail retention policy.
Where I work, deliberately avoiding policy is grounds for dismissal.
