 Saving Outlook Messages

Do you need to save certain emails?  If you want to save an Outlook message for longer than the current 30 days that are allowed, treat the message as any other file. 

  • Go to the Office Button and choose “Save As” 
  • Give the file a name. 
  • Under the “Save as Type”  select “Outlook Message Format” 
  • Select the destination for your file.  This will most likely be your “My Documents” 
  • When saved, the file can be identified by its envelope icon, and when clicked will produce an Outlook email message that can be reread, replied to, or forwarded on.
