Can you backup a single Outlook folder on a flashdrive?

[Maggie]

I'm trying to use flashdrives to archive information on specific projects to
keep with the file folder. Is there an easy way to backup my emails regarding
a specific project on that flashdrive? Or do I have to go through the copy
procedure for the whole PST file from Outlook? I have a file just for the
information I want but can't fine a way to backup an individual folder, just
the entire PST. I was hoping someone has found a workaround. Thanks!

You need to either make a new pst and move or copy the folder to it or drag
just the messages in the folder to a folder on the flash drive. Or, if you
want to be able to read the messages on computers that don't have outlook
installed, use a tool that archives them to the file system using a
universal format.
