You can manually export Outlook emails to CSV by navigating to Outlook > File > Open & Export > Import/Export > Export to a file > Comma Separated Values (CSV). From there, you choose the mailbox or folder (like your Inbox), then where to save, and you're done. This is useful for saving email properties like subject, sender, and date into a well-structured CSV file which can be imported anywhere.
However, there are limitations to this manual method. It does not export attachments, formatting of emails, or full metadata. Factory settings for Outlook restrict the export to only 15,000 emails. If you have a lot of emails in your mailbox, you may run into timeouts to complete the process or only get partial results. The manual way is time consuming with many technical steps that make it difficult for someone non-technical to go through or use for bulk email migration.
The good news is if you have to convert OST files to CSV, it can be relatively easy with the MigrateEmails OST to PST Converter. The tool has Date Range filters which allow saving Outlook emails out of a time range. The tool can also convert OST files to a variety of formats like MBOX and PST as well. If you need to manage Outlook emails, IT professionals suggest using a product specialized in this area. Overall, ESR recommends using one of these professional special products for saving Outlook emails or managing OST to CSV exports. Also, you can use the MigrateEmails PST Converter, if you want to convert contacts from a PST file, then to CSV as well.
