How do I copy Microsoft Outlook emails and contacts?
How do you copy your list of contacts and notes from Outlook onto a memory stick so that they are portable?
Microsoft have a tool to automatically backup your personal folders. This is a free download from Microsoft. The advantage with backing up the entire personal folder is this saves all your contacts, calendar and notes along with your emails.
Outlook data isn’t particularly portable as you have to manually open the PST data file on each computer you use and many don’t have the right version of Outlook, if they have it all. We’d recommend keeping the contacts and notes on a cloud based service such as Google’s Gmail or Microsoft’s Live service.

Another tip: Use Lookeen Backup Manager. A friend of mine bought it yesterday and said to me the full version of this Outlook backup tool is more than 50% cheaper until the end of August
