You could try something like mozbackup to only backup the emails and restore them to the USB device. Should be possible. I never tried moving only the emails.

I would like to do something like that, so that I am current all the time, but leave the messages on the server with the portable version. Then synch the address book when I get back to the desktop.

Its how I do it & never have had a problem.
