You need to:
a. Get your mail to the same machine as your CD-Writer.
b. Use a CD-writer to write the mail to CD-ROM/DVD.
Since you give little details of how you access your mail people
cannot be more specific..
Chances are you use IMAP, or some similar means to access your
mail. If that is the case you can look at using "imapsync" or
similar to archive your mail to your local machine - which is step
a listed above.
Otherwise you'll have to be more specific. Remember when asking
for help the more details that you post the more likely people will
be able to help you..
