Here is a link that will take you to Novell's documentation on exporting GW address books.
As for archiving e-mails, I found a tip (probably here on Tek-Tips, these guys are good) for archiving everything in a GW account in one fell swoop. Once you get the export done and have archived the e-mails to your Archive Location you are ready to burn both to CD.
Mass Archiving:
1. From the GW client tool bar select
Tools/Find
2. Next click on
Advanced Find.. from the Find screen
3. On the Advanced Find screen select
From for the Included entries field and type an asterik in the Contains field. Then click
OK.
4. You will be returned to the Find screen. Click on
OK from the Find screen.
5. A GroupWise Find Results screen will appear and if any
e-mails,appointments,notes, etc.. are found they will be
displayed.
6. Last but not least highlite all found items, right click
on a highlited item and select
Move to Archive.
