<p>I need to send in my computer for a warranty service and I do not know how to back up the email history on Outlook 2003- not the address book, the actual emails sent and received.</p>
<p>I know it is about the personal folders, but what I have googled so far has been a bit confusing. Any one have an easy routine to do this?</p>
<p>Under file, go to “import and export”. Chose ‘export to a file’. I usually use a .pst file.</p>
<p>remember to check the box to save any subfolders. Hopefully you have all your subfolders created within the inbox</p>
<p>Here are the detailed directions I use regularly: </p>
<ol>
<li> Clean out Outlook first of things not to save (Deleted email, junk email…)</li>
<li> In Outlook go to file then Import/Export </li>
<li> Export to a file </li>
<li> choose Personal Folder File(.pst) on the next screen </li>
<li> Highlight Personal Folders</li>
<li> Check “Include subfolders”</li>
<li> browse** - Choose where you want to save the Backup File (I usually do it to my destop)</li>
<li> give the file a name with date (Outlook 012009, eg)</li>
<li> Click Finish</li>
<li>**I then connect to my backup hard drive and drag and drop the backup icon to my backup drive. You could do this directly in step 7.</li>
</ol>
<p>Thank you!!</p>
