Exporting emails from Outlook 2019

Exporting emails into a PST (Personal Storage Table) file is a common task, especially when you want to back up or transfer your Outlook emails. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

For Outlook 2019 and Microsoft 365

Open Outlook:

• Launch the Outlook application on your computer.

Go to the File Tab:

• Click on the **File** tab located in the top left corner of the window.

Select Open & Export:

• From the sidebar, choose **Open & Export**, then click **Import/Export**.

Choose Export to a File:

• In the Import and Export Wizard, select **Export to a file** and click **Next**.

Select Outlook Data File (.pst):

• Choose **Outlook Data File (.pst**) and click **Next**.

Select the Folder to Export:

• Select the email account or specific folder (like Inbox, Sent Items, etc.) you want to export. If you want to include subfolders, make sure to check the **Include subfolders** box. Click **Next**.

Choose Save Location and Options:

• Click **Browse** to choose where you want to save the PST file and give it a name. Select the options you prefer regarding duplicate items.

Complete the Export:

• Click **Finish**. You may be prompted to create a password for the PST file. This is optional but recommended for security. If you choose not to, just leave the fields blank and click OK.

The export process will begin, and it might take some time depending on the size of the data you're exporting.
