Windows Mail (Vista) - Export Messages Error

I've had problems with my PC but have just rolled back to a previous state.
Things are still very slow and I'm planning on a complete restore. I'm trying to export my emails from Windows Mail (Outlook Express for vista). When I try I'm getting an error (screenshot). The next window (screenshot) says it's due to corrupted messages or lack of space.
It's not a lack of space as there is over 200GB free on external hard drive. The email messages are opening fine, haven't been able to check them all but the ones I have are ok.
Searched Microsoft and DELL for help but found nothing in terms of troubleshooting. I was thinking of copying the store folder contents but not sure whether that would restore all messages - has anyone tried this and knows whether it works?!
Any help much appreciated - everything else has been backed up, just emails remain! :beer:
