Follow These Steps to Export an Email from Outlook as a PST

• First, open Outlook on your computer and make sure you’re logged into the account that contains the emails you want to export.

• Once you’re in Outlook, go to the File tab located in the top-left corner of the window.

• From the menu, select Open & Export, then click on Import/Export to launch the Import and Export Wizard.

• In the wizard, select Export to a file, then click Next.

• Choose Outlook Data File (.pst) as the file type you want to export, and click Next again.

• Now, select the folder or email chain you want to export. This can be your entire mailbox, a specific folder, or an individual conversation. Make sure to check the box labeled Include subfolders if you want to ensure all content is included. Then click Next.

• Click Browse to choose a destination on your computer where you want to save the PST file. You can also rename the file here if needed. Once you’ve selected the location, click Finish.

• If you’d like to protect the PST file with a password, you’ll have the option to set one. This step is optional — you can leave the fields blank if you prefer not to set a password.
