Outlook Neophyte Seeks Accomplished Emailer

Dearest HON, can you help me navigate the cruel ways of Outlook?

So, I need to save about 600 emails onto our network drive. I selected all the emails, and entered "Save As" and saved it onto my desktop (which I can easily move onto our network drive later). However, the file I saved was actually a consolidated "notepad" file. It has all of the emails, but unfortunately, it appears that I need to be able to save as individual emails. Is this possible?

Please, please, please don't tell me that I need to individually save each email. My sanity would greatly appreciate that...

I'm not an outlook expert (though I'm a fairly accomplished emailer), but I found this link for ya, and I have one or two suggestions.

I think your best bet is to create a data file called a Personal Folders File (.pst). look here for instructions. Export or move the relevent emails to this file.


The downside to psts is that they can only be opened by one person at a time, so they're unlike a word or a notepad file in that way.


Useful?
