Export Outlook PST Files in 6 Steps
Six screens from the first launch to the saved files. Select a step to see its screen or open the full walkthrough in the Software Guide.
Step 1. Open Outlook Export Tool
Download the setup file, install it and choose your language. Launch it from Start and All Programs.
Step 2. Add PST Files to Export
Click Add File. Select File opens a browse window for one PST file. Search File looks through a selected drive or all drives and lists every PST file it finds.
Step 3. Scan the Selected File
Select the PST file and click Open. File location shows on screen. Check Advance Scan for a damaged file and tick Recover Permanently Deleted Items to bring back removed mail. Click Add. Outlook Export Tool removes S/MIME and OpenPGP email encryption.
Step 4. Preview the Data
Scanning ends with a prompt to save the scan result. Complete PST data then loads in a folder tree. Open any email in Normal Mail View, Hex View, Properties View, Message Header View and other tabs.
Step 5. Select the Output Format
Select emails, right click and choose Export. Use the Export button to save every item. Select one of the 12 formats from EML and MSG to CSV and MBOX, then set the filters, naming convention and destination folder.
Step 6. Check the Export Report
Click OK when the export completes. Success Count appears in the report. Click that number to see the saved file path, then open your exported files. Save the report as a CSV file if you need a record.

Where Outlook Export Options Stop Short
Four points from Microsoft’s own support pages and what Outlook Export Tool adds.
- 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
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
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
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.
- Keep a backup copy of your PST files so your original data stays safe while you test the Outlook export.
- 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.
- Launch Outlook Export Tool with Run as Administrator on Windows 10, 8.1, 8 or 7.
- Install MS Office only if you export to RTF. Other formats need no Outlook.
- Match a format to your data. PDF, EML or MSG for emails, VCF for contacts and ICS for calendars.
- Decide the naming convention and the date range so your files land in the destination folder ready to use.
- 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.
