They could export them to a CSV file. Then they can either open the file in Excel or import them into another, compatible, email client.

Clarification - I'm assuming that by "saved email addresses" you mean their contacts folder or personal address book.

In Outlook 2000, and it should be similar in other versions, have the user do the following:
1. Go file -> Import and Export...
2. Select Export to a file, click next
3. Select Comma Separated Values (Windows), click next
4. Select the contacts folder you want to export, click next
5. Save the exported file to whatever location you want (or a floppy or cd), click next. NOTE: I leave the file name as it defaults.
6. Click Finish to export to the location you chose. The file size, for a fairly contacts list is only about 40KB per hundred contacts.
If the user wants to import them into another email client they would then use the import function of that client.
One thing you may want to check is what your company policy is regarding taking email addresses with you when you leave. Our company considers all email, contacts, etc. to be company property and, unless they are vetted by a manager to ensure that they are only personal contacts (which they really shouldn't have in a company mailbox), they are not permitted to take them with them when they go.
Of course, short of severely restricting the mailbox as soon as you know the person is leaving there isn't much you can do to stop them.
