MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / February 2008converting a .pst file
I have .pst files saved to a cd that I'd like to be able to import to either Outlook Express or Excel. I have searched and can't find any information about how to convert them to .txt (to import them to Outlook Express) The .pst files include messages and contacts, and while I'd like to have the messages, it's the contacts that are particularly important. Is there any way to do this? You cannot, natively, Outlook needs to be installed, configured & connected to this pst on your HD before you can do anything with it. >I have .pst files saved to a cd that I'd like to be able to import to >either [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > messages, it's the contacts that are particularly important.

Copy the pst file to your hard drive and use File, Open on the OL menu to access it in Outlook. You cannot convert pst files to text files to use in Outlook Express. You can import messages, address books and settings from within OE, but OL must be on the same computer. You can export your contacts to a csv file that can be imported in OE without having Outlook installed. > You cannot, natively, Outlook needs to be installed, configured & connected > to this pst on your HD before you can do anything with it.

If copied from cd to hd you first would need to turn off the read only attribute (file properties, of pst) The pst has to be connected to OL before you can export to a csv file > Pst files should never be imported in Outlook anyway.
