I know in outlook 97/2k one can &quot;File/Save As..&quot; and save en e-mail as a .msg file (Best because it keeps the attachments) but I have a guy who wants to store e-mails that he's been saving for about a year on our server.&nbsp;&nbsp;To do this by hand could take a good year saving each one individually because there's about 500 or 600.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Is there a product or utility that will extract individual and/or all e-mails from an Outlook .pst file to the .msg format?<br><br>Thanks much<br><br>-cm<br>
 
In Outlook 2K, if you drag a message to a folder in an Exlorer window it saves a copy there as a .msg just like the Save as operation.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you highlight a group of messages, the Save as operation will only let you combine them into one big text file (on&nbsp;&nbsp;my machine at least...) however, if you highlight a bunch of messages and drag them to the Explorer window you will get a separate .msg file for each. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>If everything seems to be going well: you don't have enough information.......
 
After all this time looking, it's that easy. :)<br><br>Thanks much<br><br>-cm<br>
