Microsoft Outlook categorizes Outlook Data Files into two types: PST and OST files. PST files contain data stored in your personal folders, whereas OST files contain data downloaded off your Exchange Server. Because Outlook can't directly import from an OST file like it can from a PST file, if you want to copy your offline data to another computer, you can either configure the email client to connect to your server and create a new OST file, or convert your OST content to the PST format.

When an Outlook app is installed on your computer, you can use it to move email, contacts, and calendar items from one email account to another.

For example, let's say you have an Office 365 mailbox and a Gmail account. You can add both of them to Outlook. Then, you can use Outlook to export items from your Gmail account and import them to your Office 365 mailbox.

Export items by creating a .pst file. This Outlook Data File contains your messages and other Outlook items, and is saved on your computer. To learn how to import items after you export them, see Import email, contacts, and calendar from an Outlook .pst file.

Export email, contacts, and calendar items from Outlook to a .pst file

Choose from the following list of export instructions.

Office 365: Export from your Office 365 mailbox to a .pst file

Add your Office 365 email account to an Outlook app, such as Outlook or Office 365, Outlook 2016, or 2013. Then, you can use Outlook to move email, contacts, and calendar items into your Office 365 mailbox.

1. Add your 'source' email account to Outlook. For example, you might add your Gmail account to Outlook 2016. Wait a bit for all of your email and contacts to show up.

2. Add your Office 365 email account to Outlook. After you do this, Outlook will automatically sync with Office 365. You'll see the contents of your Office 365 mailbox appear in Outlook.

3. Choose from the export instructions to export your email from the source account to a .pst file.

   For example, if you have Outlook 2016, choose Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2016: Export Outlook items from a .pst file.

4. For example, if you have Outlook 2010, choose Outlook 2010: Export Outlook items to a .pst file.

After your email data is exported to a .pst file, it's portable! You can import it to other email accounts. If you want to do this using Outlook, see Import email, contacts, and calendar from an Outlook .pst file.

2. Choose Open & Export > Import/Export.

3. Choose Export to a file.

4. Click Outlook Data File (.pst)> Next.

5. Select the name of the email account to export, as shown in the picture below. Only information for one account can be exported at a time.

   Make sure that the Include subfolders check box is selected. This ensures that everything in the account will be exported: Calendar, Contacts, and Inbox. Choose Next.

6. Click Browse to select where to save the Outlook Data File (.pst). Enter a file name, and choose OK to continue.

   Note: If you’ve used export before, the previous folder location and file name appear. Type a different file name before choosing OK.

8. Choose Finish.

9. Outlook begins the export immediately unless a new Outlook Data File (.pst) is created or a password-protected file is used.

   • If you’re creating an Outlook Data File (.pst), an optional password can help protect the file. When the Create Outlook Data File dialog box appears, enter the password in the Password and Verify Password boxes, and choose OK. In the Outlook Data File Password dialog box, enter the password, and choose OK.

   • If you’re exporting to an existing Outlook Data File (.pst) that is password protected, in the Outlook Data File Password dialog box, enter the password, then choose OK.

What data is exported?

• When Outlook exports email, contacts, and calendar info to a .pst, it makes a copy of the information. Nothing leaves Outlook. You'll still see and have access to your email, contacts, and calendar in Outlook.

• When Outlook exports emails, it includes any attachments to the emails.

• Outlook does not export meta-data such as folder properties (views, permissions, and AutoArchive settings), message rules, and blocked senders lists.

Important: If you're using Cached Exchange Mode, Outlook will only export the items in your current cache. By default, your cache contains items from the past 12 months. To export more than the past 12 months of data, turn off Cached Exchange Mode first. For more information, see Turn Cached Exchange Mode on or off.

When should I export (backup)/import a .pst file?

• You want to move email from one email account to another email account:

  For example, let's say you have an old Yahoo email account, jakobsol77@yahoo.com, and you want to move your email to a new Office 365 email account, jakobsol78@contoso.com.

  Using Outlook on your desktop, add both accounts to Outlook. Wait for all of your email to appear (if you have a lot, this can be a long time). Then, use Outlook to export the email from your Yahoo account to a .pst file. Finally, import the .pst file to your Office 365 account.

• You're moving from PC to PC: You're moving your email from one computer with Outlook on it to another computer with Outlook on it. For example, let's say your old computer has Outlook 2007 and you just got a new computer with Outlook 2016. Export your email data from Outlook 2007 (described in this article) and import it to Outlook 2016.

• You're moving from PC to Mac: Transfer email from Outlook on a PC by importing to Outlook 2016 on a Mac.

• You want periodic backups: You can periodically backup all of your email, contacts, and calendar to a safe place. After you create the .pst file, copy it to a safe location: a USB flash drive, another hard drive, or cloud storage such as OneDrive or Dropbox.

  There's no automated way to periodically backup everything (old and new). Auto-archive only backs up old items, and it moves them rather than making a copy.

• If you only want to backup your contacts, see Export contacts from Outlook to copy your contacts to a .csv file.
