To convert Outlook PST files manually, you can use the export feature within Outlook. This allows you to save PST data into formats like CSV or TXT by navigating to File > Open & Export > Import/Export and selecting the desired export format. However, this method is time-consuming, supports only a limited number of formats, and may not retain all data properties, such as metadata or attachments. It is also unsuitable for bulk conversions or complex formatting needs.

For a more comprehensive and efficient solution, the BLR PST Converter Tool is an excellent choice. This tool supports converting PST files into 50+ formats, including MBOX, PDF, HTML, EML, and more, while preserving the original structure, attachments, and metadata. It is equipped with advanced features like batch conversion and selective export, offering a seamless experience for both personal and professional use. Its intuitive interface ensures that even users without technical expertise can easily perform complex conversions.
