I have an Outlook PST file that contains thousands of emails, and I want to extract all emails from it. I need to access the email messages along with their attachments, sender details, dates, and other information.

I know that Outlook provides an Import/Export option, but I am looking for a way to extract emails without importing the entire PST file into Outlook.

I have a few questions:

  1. Is there any way to extract all emails from a PST file at once?
  2. Can I save all extracted emails in EML or MSG format?
  3. Is it possible to extract email attachments along with the messages?
  4. Can I extract emails from a large PST file without Outlook?
  5. Is there any free tool to preview PST emails before extracting them?
I would appreciate it if anyone could share a simple method or their experience with extracting emails from PST files.
 
Do you have Outlook installed? If so, you can open the pst, not import it. File > Open & Export > Open Outlook Data File.

You can get mail out without opening the PST in Outlook but need to use a 3rd party utility or eM client. eM needs to import the PST but can export it as eml files in the same folder tree as the PST - and it's free. Most of the export utilities aren't free.

Attachments will be part of the message, not saved separately. You'd need to open the message to see or save the attachment. There are utilities that can extract all attachments but the PST needs to be open in outlook.

There are free PST viewers and most of the repair ost/pst tools let you view the PST with no restrictions. It's getting the mail out that costs money.

I have a list of tools here - they can export both ost and PST - Convert an Exchange or IMAP .OST to a .PST | Slipstick Systems
