Hello Phoenix,
Inorder to store your selected e-mails to your local computer, you can
create a new pst file ( File>new>outlook data file). You can then drag and
drop the folders.
The only reasons why i find archieving is blocked may be due to storage
limitations.
Hope this works.
Have a nice day:-)
