Can someone tell me how I can back up an end users contacts in Outlook2k? I need to reinstall it and cannot lose this persons' contacts or it's my job. Is there a particular file that I am looking for?
1. Go to the file menu and click Import and Export.
2. Choose the top option, "Export to a File" and click Next.
3. Choose "Personal Folder File (.pst)" and click Next.
4. Select the users mail folder and click the "+" next to it. It will open up and you should see their inbox, contacts, calendar, etc. Make sure the actual mail folder is selected and not any of the subfolders, and then check the box in the lower left labeled "Include Subfolders". Click Next.
