Saving and Storing Emails

Hello Everyone, I am looking for a program or database or something to save a lot (1,000's and 1,000's) of emails to get them off the computer or off the Yahoo site where a lot of them are.

I would like to be able to search for them when needed as there is good info there otherwise I would just delete them.

Some are proposals, invoices, newsgroups, contractors, etc......Valuable emails that I want to save but keep somewhere like on cd's or dvd's if possible.

I remember a program called Ask Sam that is a database that would store just about anything and has good search features.

Does anyone know of something like that or any program where if I needed to look up an email that is old I could just pop in the cd and look there without having to import the files to IE?

Maybe something that could change the emails in their format to PDF files then I can make folders for all the categories and years?

Thanks for any help.

Chris, load your email through MS Office Outlook and then export the email folder. You can always open the file with outlook and search through it.
I like to keep emails and other important data on my server. It's backed up by my hosting company. It's safe and accessible from any computer in the world. I've had crashed hard drives and lost priceless personal and work information not once.
 
Thanks Dimitar.

I am looking for something that will work with Outlook, Outlook Express, Yahoo Mail and a couple other mail clients without importing all of those into Outlook but also with a search function so I can find those emails without searching one by one by one throughout the thousands and thousands of emails.

I would like to be able to put them into folders by year then by category so they are easily searchable if that is possible but very quickly without importing them each time I need to find an old email then exporting those folders if that is possible.

Thanks.
 
I keep very few emails no matter how important they are or how controversial or whatever they are. My slate gets cleaned monthly because I need to add on so much more. They mostly stayed stored somewhere in my brain and thats as far as I want them to go.
