Archiving contents of e-mail folder as text

[bloomsbury]

Hi! I need to archive all the e-mail messages in a Outlook 2002 folder in a
pure text format, so the messages can be opened in e.g. Notepad, Word etc. Is
this possible? This is for long-time storage for my organization, so the
e-mail information can be searched and retrieved in any kind of text reader
in the future.

The .pst file can only be opened in Outlook as far as I know. I tried to
export the folder to a tab-separated text file, but no header information
came through, like sender, receiver, date etc., just the contents of the
messages. I need to save the complete information for each e-mail message.

Very greatful for help and tips on tools that can be used to save complete
e-mails in a folder.

Best wishes,
Greger, Stockholm, Sweden

If you decide to order use "4PM76A8" to get a discount.

If you really want to convert everything to txt take a look at this one;
