Searchable Backup or Archive not in Outlook

[Mtek]

is there a way to create an searchable backup/archive from your Outlook that
does not rely on the Outlook application itself.

I would like to be able to select complete folders w/attachments and and
drag or run a macro to to store them elsewhere (offline) in a format that
does not require Outlook to open the items. Perhaps an xml/mdb database that
can use Internet explorer or other app as readers.
The format of the email would not have to stay in an Outlook compatable
format but needs to be consistant, readable and reliable. Perhaps if the msg
has an attachment(s), it could have a link to a separate storage, and the
unchanged format of the original email.
orginal email

Coppernic desktop search can search mail data files, and probably most other
DTS apps, It doesnt require OL open to function.
There are many OL plugins that store attachments outside OL and maintain a
link within OL to the origonal mail

I was hoping for a more generic or Office solution. But I will check it out.
thanks
