How do you back up emails from Outlook 2010, to a USB flash drive?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you just want a backup copy for security purposes just copy the .pst file that Outlook store it everything in. See here to find where that file is.

If its all of them then the .pst files as others have described. If its just one or a few you can left click and drag or right click and paste the message to wherever you want and it is saved as .msg file. Just as other files you can select as many as you want with the left click + Shift or the + Ctrl key held down and make a selection.

File > Export/Import > Export to PST
Have never had this method fail me. And also, Outlook 2013 (and no doubt Outlook 2016) will also accept PST files from 2010.

Another question, what free email software can I transfer the PST over to?
|
|
|
I am not aware of any fee email client that can support pst files directly, but I believe in Mozilla Thunderbird, a free email program, a PST file can be imported after a file format conversion. Thunderbird supports MBOX file format. When a PST file is converted into MBOX then it can be imported into Thunderbird. However I think that you need a 3rd party converter such as Stellar PST to MBOX Converter. However this is not free.

Of course there maybe other conversion apps out there that are free.
You can also get a converter for .msg files which as I mention you can drag out individual or multiple messages from Outlook. Again it's not a free converter.

It's not something I use myself so that's about all I can offer.

Hi, Don't want to sound too much of a misery, but here on TBB we're a friendly lot, generally, so it means that whenever messages are sent,a "please or thank you" goes a long way.
Just saying "how do I" with no politeness, isn't how TBB works. People - especially the staff - give time and effort to help others, so basic politeness is the order of the day.
I imagine that I've come over a bit prissy, but politeness costs nothing and goes a long way.Cheers,Les.

I'm sorry but my grammar and spelling have never been the best. Also I was having trouble with putting into words what I wanted to say. I will say thanks when I get the answer I need.

Effusive thank-yous are not needed. What is useful is to know what the actual solution was. Until you have one, keep asking.

Ha, no probs - but some on here border on the, quite frankly, rude AND still want help!
Hope you get sorted  Cheers, Les.

Suggest you think about which e-mail programs you want to use and if they are compatible with Outlook's Export format(s). I suggest Export as File, then pick a format. I prefer Tab Separated Values, or Excel 97-2003 for better results.
You'll probably have to do that for every folder. Of course, attachments are not an option.
One other (time consuming) alternative. You could setup your new free mail account and forward your old e-mails to it. For example, go into Inbox, select all, right-click and forward items. However, there will be a limit on the number of items / total size that the receiving system will accept.
I just forwarded a heap of e-mails to Windows Live and they appear as .eml files, which might be a better way to get them.
Possible other option (Outlook 2013, but you never know) - http://www.minterest.org/how-to-sync-hotmail-with-of...

Have you not got the answers you need then? If not, what is missing from them that still needs answering?
|

Figured out a simple way of doing it. Forwarding them to a web based email account.
Thanks everyone.

Seriously? what a pathetic, petty comment. There is absolutely nothing wrong with Timalays post. How can anyone post anything so childish? Prissy is not even close. Timalay has absolutely nothing to apologise for. Stop trying to belittle him.

Go back to your Horlicks, Roger - I've already spoken to timalay, and we're cool. If you can't see that being polite is the way to be, then that's your problem. Over the years I've used TBB, I've found a little politeness goes a long, long way - you clearly think differently!

I've found a little politeness goes a long, long way... And you are happy to instruct others...

He wasn't even being impolite, only in your "world" wherever that is. No one else thinks so. Childish comment in the extreme.

Don't go on an unwarranted moralising trip: you give a fiver to someone behind the counter in a shop - they can't be bothered to say thanks and you let it pass? I don't, but then perhaps we come from different worlds. There's NOTHING wrong in picking someone up about bad manners. That you think, along with roger, it is fine, says more about you than me, I'm afraid.

Absolutely Mick. Belittling others amount to psychological bullying, which is never acceptable in any circumstances. Whatever Lelboys opinions he has no right to police everyone else and tell them what to do.

Nothing was mentioned about being "impolite" in its conventional sense about general behaviour - just that please and thank you ought to be the norm amongst adults - especially when a person is asking for something. As I said to micksharpe, we clearly inhabit different worlds - and your seems to be one where your parents didn't instil in you the value of please and thank you. Your problem, not mine, but if that's how you behave, then I feel a little sad for you and yours. Can't be bothered to reply again, because we clearly have different social values: I prefer mine!

By all means instruct your own children. I wish you well.

Don't EVER patronise me by assuming you know anything about me, my upbringing, my parents or my values. You have a lot to say but with little substance. Thankfully I don't live anywhere near your small minded world.

Meant in a semi-serious, semi-joking way . And lelboy was coming in for a little bit of too heavy flaming really. The OP hadn't taken offence, quite the opposite so far as I could see.

Thank you Mick - I did, and they, since they were able to speak, said please and thank you ("ta" initially): am I the odd one out, or is that not what most parents/grandparents did?
Cheers, Les.

Ah Roger, I seem to have ruffled your feathers - that wasn't my original intent, but if the cap fits, then wear it.
I DO know a little about your "values": you don't think it necessary to say please and thank you. That's not presumption, that's fact. Why you should take umbrage at me giving a little prod to someone, about online niceties, is beyond me - but the fact that I have not been inundated with comments from Andrew/Bob or any number of other long-term members or staff would seem to say that they tacitly might agree with me! As I say, this site revolves in a great part about us being friendly and accommodating to others, and the fact that I gently pointed this out to someone - and the bizarre response from you - seems to hint, perhaps, that a little self scrutiny is in order, and not that you start berating me. If you feel inclined to look through my 300 odd posts, you'll not see ANY element of bad manners: the case rests.

General Reply:
May be some of the posters here are falling foul of the general forum Syndrome of misinterpretation.
It is all too easy to jump to a conclusion on a forum and equally all too easy to, as a poster say something or not say something which is misinterpreted. I know this has happened here as the background of one poster has been questioned, when (nearly) all the postings in the past have inclined me to know more about him, and he makes lots.
I like to think I always say thank you for questions answered here, but if I omit it, it is not intentional in someone who I think automatically says it when something is handed to me.
Actually that automatic reaction is interesting in itself. It was something I was brought up to do and sometimes it is not necessarily meant. I was unluckily enough to go to a boarding school where corporal punishment happened. The victim had to say thank you afterwards.

"amongst adults"
That might be the issue. Children should be taught 'manners' not just adults.

Ha ha, Philip - I know what you mean.
I never went to boarding school, but the grammar school was just the same - you had to say "Thank you SIR" to the prefect that had just given you three slaps with a ruler!
Take your point, though - hollow "pleases & thank you's" mean nothing but, sincerely said, to show appreciation, is a different matter altogether. It saddens me when I see kids just snatch things - without a by your leave - as though it were a given. Maybe I'm just a 64 years old Victor Meldrew clone.
Amused at Bob's take - "many a true word etc".........
Lets hope the OP gets sorted, and that there's no more tirades from a pram.
Cheers, Les.
