Does anyone know a way that specific folders and subfolders from someone's Outlook 2003 email pst file can be isolated, copied and sent to another email account?

Harriet,
One way would be to
File->Folder->Copy Folder and choose a public folder that the other person can access.

You can also share permission to that folder with another use by right-clicking the folder and giving permission to the other party.

You can Select All of the emails in the folder and File-Save As, which would create a single, combined txt file, but you can't create a pst file that way.

The problem is that I cannot figure out how to isolate specific folders from a user's email pst file. I can copy the entire pst file and move it to another user's location, but the request was to copy 3 specific folders from within that file. The user did not want to have to forward each individual email.

I think you can archive specific folders/subfolders to a new .pst file (one folder at a time), then the new user can attach that .pst file to his outlook and open it.

Don't know how many folder/subfolders/emails you are transferring but here is one way to do it.

To send Joe's folder to Mary:

1. Create a new folder in Mary's Outlook called "Joe"

2. Select all email in Joe's Outlook then right click and select Forward

3. Send that email to Mary

4. In Mary's Outlook open the email with the attachments, select all email and drag them to the newly created "Joe" folder.

Thanks Michael - that is how we wound up moving the files.
