Why Outlook Alone Falls Short for Text Files From PST
Four points from Microsoft Support show where Outlook stops and where PCVITA Outlook PST to Text Converter keeps going.
- 1
Save Steps Name No TXT Option
Microsoft Support lists EML, PDF and draft in its save steps for messages and names no text file option for new Outlook. PCVITA exports emails from a PST file straight to TXT.
- 2
Word Documents are Not Supported
Microsoft says saving a message as a Word document is not supported in new Outlook. Outlook PST to Text Converter adds DOC and RTF output next to TXT.
- 3
PST Import is Missing in New Outlook
Microsoft lists PST import as unsupported in new Outlook. PCVITA opens PST files directly, so Outlook can stay closed.
- 4
PST Contacts and Calendars are Missing
Microsoft states that calendar and contact items saved in PST files are not available in new Outlook. Select the Categories setting in PCVITA and those items convert along with your mail.
Prepare Before You Convert PST Files to Text
Six short checks prevent a repeat export. Finish them and your first conversion goes smoothly.
- Back up your PST file in a safe folder first. Your original mail stays safe while you test settings.
- Add Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or a later version. Keep 500 MB of disk space and 4 GB of RAM free.
- Open the software with Run as Administrator on Windows 10, 8.1, 8 or 7.
- Install MS Office on the same computer if you plan to export RTF files.
- Plan your date range and file naming pattern before you click Export.
- Try the free demo on your own PST file. Download Outlook PST to Text Converter demo and open the text files it creates.
