Board index » Outlook » Archiving contents of e-mail folder as text

Outlook843
Hi! I need to archive all the e-mail messages in a Outlook 2002 folder in a

pure text format, so the messages can be opened in e.g. Notepad, Word etc. Is

this possible? This is for long-time storage for my organization, so the

e-mail information can be searched and retrieved in any kind of text reader

in the future.



The .pst file can only be opened in Outlook as far as I know. I tried to

export the folder to a tab-separated text file, but no header information

came through, like sender, receiver, date etc., just the contents of the

messages. I need to save the complete information for each e-mail message.



Very greatful for help and tips on tools that can be used to save complete

e-mails in a folder.



Best wishes,

Greger, Stockholm, Sweden

If you decide to order use "4PM76A8" to get a discount.



If you really want to convert everything to txt take a look at this one;
