Exporting E-mails from Microsoft Outlook?

Question

I have many hundreds of e-mails that I want to export from Microsoft Outlook and save elsewhere (on a CD).
They are splt into various sub-folders.
I was wondering if anyone could advise what the easiest way to do this would be. It would be particularly useful to either be able to view the e-mails on the final CD... or be able to easily "Import" them back into Outlook.
I have tried exporting to an Access document... which is good up to a point.... No dates appear to be transferred to the database...and I have to do each individual "outlook" folder seperately.
Any advice / help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Perhaps try exporting as csv tried this many times and only works now and then but that's Uncle Bill's products for you. I use Thunderbird and Firefox now. Good luck!

Answer 2

You can save backup files, if you have Outlook 2007 it has this feature but if you have Outlook 2003, you need to download the add-in from Microsoft website

when you installed the software, save a backup file in hard drive then write it to CD, later you can open it again with any Outlook with backup add-in, you can even copy your e-mails from backup files to Outlook, I mean like moving your e-mails from work computer to home computer and if you make your Outlook main file password protected, then backup would be password protected too!

Backwards. In Outlook open the tackle e book>Edit>pick all actual click>deliver Mail, the recipients arise in "To" Delete people who're no longer getting this e mail. Then insert your Excel record as attachment or reproduction and paste in the main important physique. click deliver. Now in case you won't be able to do this, then ask a team member to do it for you and supply your self the sack
