Whether you have emails you want to make sure to hang onto because you’re getting a new computer or you're troubleshooting a problem, you can create a backup in Microsoft Outlook.
By exporting your inbox to an Outlook file format, you can easily import it again later if needed. Alternatively, you can export a CSV file that you can open in Excel to review and analyze. Here, we’ll explain how to back up emails in Outlook using both file types.
If you want to create a backup of your emails that you can easily import back into Outlook later, the best option is to create a PST file. Unfortunately, this technique is not available on the Mac version of Outlook.
Step 1: Open Outlook and select File > Open & export. Then, pick Import/export.
Step 2: When the Import and Export Wizard window opens, select Export to a file and choose Next.
Step 3: In the subsequent window, pick Outlook data file (.pst) and select Next.
Step 4: Then, select your Inbox and check the box for Include subfolders to make sure you have all of the folders you created. Optionally, you can choose a different, specific folder if you prefer.
Step 5: If you want particular emails, such as those from a certain sender, during a time frame, or with specific keywords, select Filter. Add the criteria, and pick OK.
Step 6: Select Next after you pick the inbox, subfolders, and filters.
Step 7: Choose a location to save the file. You can use the Browse button to select the location or enter the full path into the box at the top.
Step 8: Then, pick one of the options to replace duplicates, allow duplicates, or not export duplicates. Select Finish.
You can then visit the location you selected for the file to open it.
If you want to back up your emails so that you have a readable file that you can open in Excel if needed, you can create a CSV file instead. Try this technique on Windows of Mac versions of Outlook.
Step 1: Follow the first two steps as above to select Import/export and open the Import and Export Wizard.
Step 2: Select Export to a file and pick Next.
Step 3: This time, pick Comma separated values in the Export to a file box and select Next.
Step 4: Choose your Inbox from the list and pick Next.
Step 5: Enter the location and file name using the path, or select the Browse button to pick the location for the file.
If you use the Browse button, navigate to the location, enter the file name you want to use, and select OK.
Step 6: When you have the location and file name in the Save Exported File As box, select Next.
Step 7: Confirm the inbox you are exporting and select Finish.
You’ll see a brief message as the file is created, and you can then visit the location you picked to access the file and open it in Excel or a similar application.
Backing up your Outlook emails for safekeeping or importing again later takes only a few minutes. And, it’s probably worth your time to make sure you don’t lose any important messages.

The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.
The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
