Saving sent emails to computer

I was previously using the stock Email program. I want to figure out how to save the existing sent emails, from the program's Sent folder, to my computer. I tried connecting the USB cord, but I couldn't find any folder that contains email files.

Are these files accessible? Are they in a format that can be transferred to a computer? I have an LG Optimus V, it's not rooted. I am willing to root it if necessary.

The emails exist on the phone. There ought to be a way to get them off of the phone. Any ideas?

(I already know about K9, Gmail, and forwarding the emails to myself. Thanks.)
 
Still looking for a way to save existing sent emails that are in the Sent folder of the stock Email program.

I already know about K9, Gmail, and how to forward sent emails to myself; these aren't useful because my goal is to save the originals, with their original timestamps.

I figure that since the emails exist on the phone; there ought to be a way to get them off of the phone. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.
