Those who use the built-in Windows mail program Outlook Express, when reinstalling the operating system, quite often face the problem of recovering the account, as well as incoming and outgoing letters. A similar problem can overtake those users who work with multiple computers, for example, at work and at home. To send all correspondence manually is, to say the least, inconvenient. However, there are more convenient ways.
Instructions
Step 1
Copy the letters into a separate document. Open outlook, enter "Tools", then select "Options". In it, click on the "Service" tab. At the bottom of the window, you will see the "Message Bank" button. Click on it. You will see the address of the folder that contains all your messages at the moment. Change their storage location. To do this, copy the current address by selecting it and pressing the Ctrl + C key combination. Then, from the Start button menu, run the Run command. Paste the address you just copied into the dialog box. To do this, press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + V. The system folder with the necessary files will appear in the window that opens. Copy them and move them to the previously created folder on another local drive that will not be affected by reinstalling the software.
Step 2
Start exporting your address book. In the program itself, to save your outlook data, open the File menu, then Export, then Address Book. A new window will appear in front of you: "Export to CSV format". Select a location by clicking the Browse button to save your outlook address book in the same folder where your correspondence is already saved. Click "Save" and after closing the window, click "Next". After ticking the required fields, click "Next". A message appears that the address book was saved successfully. Close the export wizard.
Step 3
Save your accounts. To do this, open "Service", then "Accounts". In the window that appears, select the "Mail" tab and then each account you would like to keep. Click Export. Select the same folder as the directory where you saved your address book and letters. Give the file a name and click the Save button. Close mail, copy all saved data to disk or USB flash drive. Saving outlook data was successful.
