Backup Datafile e-Mail Outlook

Another way to make a backup file, which is described in this article, involves exporting (copying) the contents of the message folder to a Personal Folders file (.pst) (Personal Folders file (.pst): Data file that stores your messages and other items on your computer. You can assign a .pst file to be the default delivery location for e-mail messages. You can use a .pst to organize and back up items for safekeeping.) using the Import and Export Wizard.

If you have an existing .pst file to which messages are being delivered, and you want to add the messages in your backed up .pst file to this .pst file, use the Import and Export Wizard to import the backed up .pst file.
How?

# On the File menu, click Import and Export.
# Click Import from another program or file, and then click Next.
# Click Personal Folder File (.pst), and then click Next.
# In the File to import box, specify the path and file name of the .pst file you want to import.
# Click one of the following:
Replace duplicates with items imported Existing data will be overwritten with the information in the file being imported.
Allow duplicates to be created Existing data will not be overwritten, and duplicate information will be added to the current Outlook folder.

-->Do not import duplicate items Existing data will be kept, and the duplicate information in the file will not be copied to the current Outlook folder.

Follow the remaining instructions in the Import and Export Wizard.
#-->Important You should not export items that were created in multiple languages or in a language that is not supported by your system code page to a file type that does not support Unicode. For example, if you have items created in multiple languages in a Microsoft Outlook Personal Folders file (.pst), you should not export the items to a Microsoft Outlook 97-2002 Personal Folders file (.pst). The latter file type does not support Unicode. Therefore, all items that contain characters in a language other than those supported by the system code page in text fields other than the body of items, such as To, Subject, and ContactName and BusinessTelephoneNumber properties of Contact items, will be interpreted incorrectly and displayed as question marks (?) and other unintelligible text.

If you just bought a new computer and want to use the .pst file that you backed up to create a new e-mail account, you can reconnect the backup data from your old computer to the new one.
