how to store multiple emails (from Outlook) as files (to folders) keeping their basic info

Question

Hi all,

I have to store a huge number of emails from my Outlook as files into Folders.

If I drag and drop them I see that I miss all the info of the emails except the subject (that become the name of the file).

Is there a way to keep at least the date of the email?

thanks

Hi @Ale Madama ,

Welcome to our forum!

Based on my test on dragging and dropping emails out of Outlook, i found that the original date of the emails will not be retained, only the time the message was moved to the folder, which is consistent with your issue. It's by design.

As a workaround, it's suggested that you could that you could try to export the emails to a .pst file. In this way, the emails will be opened in Outlook, and all the original information of the messages including the date will be stored.
