How to create or add to contacts from all my saved emails in outlook classic. PST file.

Answer 1

To create or add contacts from all your saved emails in Outlook Classic, you can follow these general steps:

1. Export Emails to a PST File: If you haven't already, export your emails to a PST file. This can be done through the File menu by selecting "Open & Export" and then "Import/Export". Choose "Export to a file" and select the PST format.
2. Open the PST File: Open the PST file in Outlook by going to the File menu, selecting "Open & Export", and then "Open Outlook Data File". Navigate to your PST file and open it.
3. Manually Create Contacts: Go through the emails in your PST file. For each email, you can create a new contact by right-clicking on the sender's name and selecting "Add to Outlook Contacts". Fill in any additional information you want to include.
4. Use AutoComplete Feature: If you frequently email certain addresses, Outlook may have already saved them in the AutoComplete list. You can check this by starting to type an email address in the To field and seeing if it suggests the contact.
5. Import Contacts: If you have a list of contacts in a different format, you can also import them into Outlook. Go to the File menu, select "Open & Export", and then "Import/Export". Choose "Import from another program or file" and follow the prompts to import your contacts.

These steps should help you create or add contacts from your saved emails in Outlook Classic.
