Exporting Personal Folder Data

[Lori Manning]

I'm on Outlook 2000, Windows 2000. I'm trying to export
my personal folders in Outlook to a floppy. I found
the info online on how to do it (listed below).
However, my version of Outlook doesn't have the option
to "Include Subfolders" in the export. How can I get
this feature, I need it desperately. Is there a setting I
need to change, or a upgrade download I need to
do...PLEASE HELP..thx.

I'd be VERY surprised if your pst file will fit on a floppy!

Why not just copy the pst file in Windows Explorer?

if the subfolder option is not available and subfolders are not exported,
you can't change how it works unless you upgrade. But you can use file, new,
outlook data store to create a new *.pst and copy the folders you need to
the new pst.

I'm actually sending to flash drive, so that I
can transfer all the info from one computer to
another. I don't have the ability to select
"include sub folders", and need to know how
to get that fixed..thx much!

I just upgraded from OL98 to OL2000...The old version
had it, so I assumed the newer version would to.
When you mention upgrade, is that a download?

If not, I tried the other entry you gave me, and
it doesn't seem to work, if you can explain a little
bit more. Again, I'm trying to get my subfolders
downloaded to my flash drive.
