[John Seth]

It really depends on what the email client is that you're using.  I'm 
using Mozilla on WinXP.  Mozilla saves all of it's mail in the 
c:\documents and settings\user\application data\mozilla\profiles\etc...

In the subfolders, I have "Local Folders" folder, and yet inside that, 
are other subfolders until I find where I have my email saved to ... 
with two files named "NFLUG" and "NFLUG.msf". ('NFLUG' is the name of 
the folder where my mail filter sorts and saves email.)  I'm not sure 
what the .msf file is/does, but the other NFLUG file is a basic "mbox" 
style file that contains all the email in my folder.  I simply copied 
that to my server and ran the email-to-html parser against it and it fed 
everything to one directory.  I did have to cut pieces out and save it 
to another file in order to separate it into different months-worth of 
email.

That is mozilla however, and I'm not entirely sure how other programs work.
