How can I export my messages from Outlook XP into text files with directories for mail folders?

Solution 1:

OK... I think this works.

  1. Select all groups of messages. (ex. today yesterday...) then click to send to OneNote (or print to OneNote...)
  2. Once in OneNote, save it as a PDF.
  3. Once in a PDF format, convert it to text.

Solution 2:

Taking what Fergus proposed a step further: Using the outlook export tool just export one folder at a time. Then take the resulting files, and stuff them in a folder that way. Unless you have a crazy amount of folders it should not be that bad.
