Backing Up Emails in MS Outlook

Good morning.

Can anyone advise me how I would save/back-up my emails and folders in MS Outlook before a reformat?

Many thanks

You could archive them and then save the archive to a CD/DVD or other hard drive.

Instructions below, not the best but should help

If it's before a format you might as well just copy the main .pst file...

Sorry, should have stated that I'm a bit of a noob, and as such am unsure what exactly a pst file is, or where to locate it.

Anyway I'll have a go with the recommended program. As always, thanks for replying so quickly.

Cheers

right click on outlook today, choose properties, choose advanced. It will then tell you where you pst file is located. Copy that file - it is all your e-mails.
