Outlook Export Tool Features

What Outlook Export Tool does with your PST data, grouped by task.

Load PST Files to Export Outlook Data

Select one file or let the search find them all, then scan before you export.

  • Select File or Search File

    Browse to a single PST file or search a selected drive or every drive. Outlook Export Tool lists the PST files it finds.

  • Batch Export of Many PST Files

    Add several PST files together and export Outlook data from all of them in a single attempt, in any folder or subfolder.

  • Advance Scan for Damaged Files

    Outlook Export Tool prompts you to check Advance Scan after you add a file, so badly damaged PST files scan before the export.

  • Permanently Deleted Items Recovery

    Tick one option and removed items join the export in the format you select.

  • S/MIME and OpenPGP Removal

    Both Outlook email encryptions come off, certificates for S/MIME and public and private keys for OpenPGP.

Search File option for a selected drive or all drives
Search File lists PST files from one drive or from all drives

  • Folder Tree With View Tabs

    Normal Mail View, Hex View, Properties View and Message Header View show one email in several ways.

  • Emails, Contacts and Calendars

    Preview emails, contacts, calendars and other items from the same PST file before the Outlook export starts.

  • Selective Export

    Select emails, right click and choose Export. Export button saves every item at once.

Save Outlook Data in 12 Formats

Emails, documents, contacts and calendars all get a format that fits the job.

    PDF export sets margins, orientation, page size, header and footer. Attachments save with the PDF through three attachment options. Bates number and date stamp settings are available too.

  • Email Files in EML, EMLX and MSG

    Export Outlook emails to EML or EMLX for mail clients and to MSG for Outlook, with attachments inside.

  • Web and Document Files

    HTML and MHT pages, Text files, Doc and DOCX open on any machine. RTF export needs MS Office installed.

  • Contacts and Calendars Apart

    Contacts save as VCF vCard files and calendars save as ICS files, separate from your emails.

  • Data and Mailbox Files

    CSV opens in Excel. PST and MBOX files carry full folders to Outlook, Thunderbird and Apple Mail.

Where Outlook Export Options Stop Short

Four points from Microsoft’s own support pages and what Outlook Export Tool adds.

  1. 1

    PDF Is Not a Save as Type

    Microsoft states that new Outlook ships without PDF as a default Save as type. Outlook Export Tool saves PST emails as PDF with page layout, attachment and Bates number settings.

  2. 2

    One Message per Print Job

    Microsoft’s PDF steps open a single message and print it with Microsoft Print to PDF. Outlook Export Tool handles selected emails or full folders in one go.

  3. 3

    Contacts Leave as CSV

    Outlook saves a copy of your contacts to a CSV file in both classic and new versions, says Microsoft. Outlook Export Tool adds VCF for vCard files and ICS for calendars.

  4. 4

    PST Items Stay Out of New Outlook

    Microsoft notes that calendar and contacts items saved in PST files are not available in new Outlook and that PST import is not supported there. Outlook Export Tool opens the PST file directly with no import step.

Prepare Before You Export Outlook Data

Seven checks before your first export. Work down the list before you open the tool.

  1. Keep a backup copy of your PST files so your original data stays safe while you test the Outlook export.
  2. Install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or later on a Windows machine with 500 MB free disk space. 4 GB RAM and a 2.4 GHz processor are recommended.
  3. Launch Outlook Export Tool with Run as Administrator on Windows 10, 8.1, 8 or 7.
  4. Install MS Office only if you export to RTF. Other formats need no Outlook.
  5. Match a format to your data. PDF, EML or MSG for emails, VCF for contacts and ICS for calendars.
  6. Decide the naming convention and the date range so your files land in the destination folder ready to use.
  7. Test the free demo on your file before you buy. Download the Outlook Export Tool demo, preview every item and export 25 from every PST file.
