In Outlook there is an option under the file menu to export, that will take you through a wizard to enable you to save whatever you want. Since it seems to work best on a folder basis you might want to put all the mails you want to save in one folder and then just export that.

The format for export you require is a "pst" folder. After export you can re-import the folder any time you like
