Managing project tasks in email is unproductive. So I figured out how to convert or export my Outlook email message to MS Word.
How to Backup Selected Outlook Contacts and Email
A client of ours needed to save (or backup), not all, but a selected number of Outlook contacts & emails.
The solution: Create a new folder.
Export (Backup) Selected Contacts in Outlook
- Open Outlook
- Go to your Contacts
- Create a new folder under Contacts
- Drag and drop the Contacts you want to save into the new folder
- Export or backup the newly created folder
Export (Backup) Selected Email in Outlook
- Open Outlook
- Go to your Mail
- Create a new folder under Personal Folders
- Drag and drop the emails you want to save into the new folder
- Export or backup the newly created folder

Thanks! After searching the “interwebs” for hours I found this, it is EXACTLY what I was after… I have collected 100s of business contacts that I don’t want to lose but don’t need in my mail list of Contacts 🙂
Hi Sonya.
I’m happy to hear my post solved your problem.

Hi Richard. I’m unsure. I would test with one or two contacts with attachments.
Hello, I was wondering, if there were multiple folders and I wanted to backup particular folders, how would I be able to do that instead of backing up the desired folders one by one. Is there a way to select multiple folders I want to backup all at once?
