Why Microsoft Outlook Needs Help to Create EML Files From PST
Four points from Microsoft Support on new Outlook next to what PCVITA does about them.
- 1
Save as Starts From One Message
Microsoft’s Save as steps for new Outlook begin with a message you select or open. They do not describe a folder or a PST file. PCVITA takes PST files and selected folders in one job.
- 2
Export Goes to PST
Microsoft sends you to Settings, Files, Export in new Outlook. That wizard writes a PST file. PCVITA writes EML or EMLX message files instead.
- 3
PST Import Needs Classic Outlook
Microsoft lists mailbox and calendar import from a .pst file as unsupported in new Outlook, so you must switch back to the desktop version. PCVITA opens PST files with no Outlook at all.
- 4
Calendar and Contacts Stay Hidden
Microsoft adds that calendar and contacts items saved in .pst files are not available in new Outlook. PCVITA loads every item type from your PST file into its preview panel.
Prepare Before You Convert PST Files to EML
Six quick checks save you a second attempt.
- Copy your PST file to a safe folder before the first conversion, so your original data stays untouched.
- Install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or above first. Keep 500 MB of disk space and 4 GB of RAM free on your Windows machine.
- Open the software with Run as Administrator on Windows 10, 8.1, 8 or 7.
- Create an empty destination folder for your EML files with enough free space.
- Decide on a file naming pattern and a date range if you need only part of the mailbox.
- Test the free demo on your own file first. Download Outlook PST to EML Converter demo and open a saved EML file in Thunderbird.
