MS Outlook XP

[Lezend]

Is there any software that can backup all the emails and database of outlook xp? I want to format my HD and I have over 500 users addresses and emails. I don't want to hand written all of them. Please assist.

Thank you.

You really don't need to use any software for this procedure. All you need is a CD-Burner and Microsoft Outlook.

1. Open up Microsoft Outlook and go to the "Import and Export Wizard".

2. Select "Export to a file"

3. The rest is really up to you. You can save your contacts as a vCard file or something else. To save your e-mails, select all the e-mails and go to "File, Save As..." and save them to a folder. You can burn everything to a CD when you're done. During this process, Outlook might ask you for the Office CD, so keep it handy.

Hope this helps!

Ok lets me be more specific. I know how you can save each contact separately (vcard). Thats a lot of work for the large amount of contacts. How do I export all contacts and emails plus settings (optional) and import over to new outlook.

Thanks for reply.
