About this conversion
Plain text is what you want when the mail has to be searched with ordinary tools, fed to a script, or simply kept in a form that will still open in twenty years.
Just want to look inside it?
The same tool without converting anything: open a .pst file and read it.
You are not locked into TXT
The file is parsed once and stays open, so the format is picked at the end rather than the beginning: the same .pst can leave here as CSV, XLSX, ZIP, EML, MBOX, PDF, HTML or JSON. Before that you can search it by subject or address, filter by year, sender and attachment type, mark the duplicates and look through the archive overview.
Questions
- What is in the file?
- Date, sender, recipients, subject and the message text, with a separator between messages.
- Do attachments come along?
- Their names are listed with each message. The files themselves are exported separately, as a zip.
