| 683181 | 2008-06-28 03:42:00 | How can I back up emails, contacts and account settings from Outlook XP all in one go? It seems that you can only export a single folder at a time - that would be tedious - does Outlook 2003 support exporting all in one fell swoop? Also, can I export account settings from Outlook XP or 2003? TIA |

| 683182 | 2008-06-28 03:59:00 | This on outlook 2003 - but XP is very similar - this will take across ALL the mail, contacts - Open outlook - File/import and Export/ Export to a file/personal Folder File pst/ Select Personal Folders (Top One), making sure Include subfolder is ticked, Select the destination, Click finish. heres How (www.digiportal.com) to export the Contacts separately ( Pays to do this sometimes I have found exporting the .pst file for some reason leaves the contacts :confused: ) Personally for the accounts I find its just as quick to put it in manually, only takes a minute. Main details required are user name and password. |

| 683183 | 2008-06-28 04:06:00 | There's no 'include subfolders' tickbox in Outlook XP... | jwil1 (65) | ||
| 683184 | 2008-06-28 04:24:00 | Okay - couldn't check that one setting - dont have Outlook XP ;) BUT looking at the link I posted if you select Personal Folders, it should pick the other folders as well. if you want here is a PDF (its.agnesscott.edu) I located it goes through each step. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 683185 | 2008-06-28 08:24:00 | That PDF assumes a include subfolders tickbox is present too :) Would upgrading to Outlook 2003 temporarily to export the messages/contacts etc work? EDIT: false alarm - Outlook XP does actually have a subfolders checkbox :o |

| 683186 | 2008-06-28 08:38:00 | By selecting Personal Folders in Outlook XP, it should take all the folders, since they are all branched off of the Personal Folder. As Mentioned I cant test it - I don't have any Office XP loaded on any machines. Shouldn't have to upgrade to 2003 - try exporting it as it is, then import to Office 2003. have a look At this article (www.howto-outlook.com) - I usually just locate and grab thee whole PST file from the original then transfer it. |
