Windows 10: Can Outlook automatically save local copies of all emails?

Can Outlook save local copies of all of my emails to the hard drive my computer?


And/or to OneDrive?

:)

 

Saving files locally only?

OK, thank you for clarifying that for me, Henry. There is a way to save a Word/Excel file online to your computer.

1. Click on File on the upper left-hand corner.
2. Click on Save As.
3. Click on Download a Copy.

This option would allow you to save the file locally onto your computer. However, the word/excel file will still automatically save to your OneDrive, but you can discard it once the file is onto your computer. I hope this helps. Please let me know if this works for you.

 

Outlook 2019 -- copy IMAP mail to offline / local folder

Hi folks

those of you with NEW installs of Outlook 2019 and using IMAP --i.e no upgrade from previous versions or using a brand new Windows install will probably find Archive or export to file doesn't function as a .pst file doesn't exist.

The best thing to do is to create one and then you can copy email to off line. or local folder(s) simply open the .pst file in outlook and copy / move email / folders at will. You can then close it so it won't normally appear in the list. Just open the .pst file from within outlook and do your copy / move etc. Note Outlook uses these days an .ost file - no .pst files by default -- however if you did an UPGRADE from an earlier version of office you'll probably have a .pst file which you can open and use.

To backup accounts (the settings etc) etc --simply use the registry export mechanism : (This also works for 2019). You need to remember passwords though.

Saving Contacts via Sync and Outlook

Hello all,



I'm trying to save all my contacts rom my phone to my Outlook 2003. So far, with Sync, I've been able to get all my contacts onto Outlook (this was done automatically, much to my pleasure).



The only problem I see with this, is that if I were to do a hard reset and have my contact list deleted, once the phone syncs with outlook, all those contacts would be deleted as well.



How do I create a copy of the Outlook contacts, or save that file, so that once my phone is reset, I can open up that file into Outlook, and have those contacts moved to my phone?



Note: I currently do not have a mini-sd card.
