Default backing up emails-files locked down

our company auto wipes all emails after 90 days and I want to save emails
that I've filed to my personal folders, however, I can't find any .pst files
anywhere to copy/backup. Does anyone know of an "easy" way to save emails in
a locked down environment? I tried to copy the outlook data folder without
success.

Are you sure you want to subvert company policy? It could cost you your job.

Forward your personal e-mail to you home e-mail address.

Are the emails you want to save personal or business related? If they are
business related, you need to tell whoever at the company you have a need to
retain older messages. If they are personal emails, you need to get yourself
a free hotmail or gmail account...
