How Do I Save my Outlook Emails to my Local Drive?

I want to back up my emails I have in Outlook to a hard disk. Does converting old emails to PDF work best? Can multiple emails be saved simultaneously rather than one at a time?

Converting your Outlook emails to PDF is not the best way. Outlook allows you to export your Outlook emails to a PST file. And, of course, you can save many emails at a time.

If you just need to save a few emails, you can copy and paste the email to keep it as a file. You can also use the Import/Export Wizard in Outlook to create a PST file of Outlook emails if you want to keep all the emails you download to your computer. A copy of your email will be saved this way to your local drive.

Step 1. Launch Outlook, log in > Click File > Open & Export, and click Import/Export.

Step 2. Select Export to File in the Import and Export and click Next.

Step 3. Click Outlook Data File (.pst) and click Next > Choose Inbox as a folder to export or expand Inbox and choose the appropriate folder. Click Next.

If you perform the above steps carefully, you can back up your Outlook emails to your local drive. But it is worth noting that the manual backup process will always be time-consuming and boring if you have many emails to back up.
