How do export/back up emails that have attachments?

I have a large amount of emails with various attachments (mostly photos) that
I would like to save on a CD & free up space on my hard drive. However, I
cannot seem to include any attachments.

How do you want to save them? If you wish to same them as individual
messages and you have Windows XP, just drag them from the Inbox (or whatever
folder they're in) to your CD drive. Let Windows write them to the CD. If
you wish to save an entire folder, close Outlook and copy your entire PST to
the CD drive.

Create a new folder under the My Pictures folder and save
the images to that folder. Yep! One at a time. As this
folder becomes unwieldly, be place the contents to a CD.
Delete the files only after you are certain the CD is good.

Suggestion, routinely do this as the messages arrive and
then use Windows Back Up to back up the My Documents folder
to a device other than your hard drive. A second hard drive
installed in your computer is the most convenient and lease
expensive.

An easy method of saving photos when they come with emails is to click on
File>Save Attachments. You can save directly to a CD or in a folder in My
Pictures and then copy to a CD when the folder is full.
