Decide whether to Limit PST file size.

Usually you’ll want to keep it the same as the original, so choose Same as source folder structure.

Select an option for the Folder structure of the exported mail.

This folder doesn’t exist yet but Aid4Mail will create it. In our example, we have set a folder called Converted mail.

Optionally, set a folder Location in PST file where your converted mail will be saved.

You can also set a Password to protect the file. You can write directly in the field or use the Select button to browse your file system.

Specify where you want your PST file to be saved.

If you don’t have Outlook installed, keep this option off. Using Outlook’s engine is faster but requires Outlook to be installed on the same computer as Aid4Mail. This means using Outlook’s internal engine (MAPI) to create the PST file (it has no effect on the reading of your source mail).

Choose whether to Process using Outlook.

Choose whether to Remove journaling envelope if your email files are journaled.

This will allow you to create a session for each PST file in the location you have set (Step 4 explains how to accomplish this).

Once you have entered the folder where your PST files are located, you will need to enter the asterisk wildcard as shown in the screenshot above.

Set the Location of your PST files, either writing it directly in the PST file: field or by using the Select button to browse your file system.

If you don’t have Outlook installed, turn this option off. This means using Outlook’s internal engine (MAPI) to open and read the PST file. This tutorial requires them all to be displayed. Each can be displayed or hidden by selecting the +/- symbol next to the section heading.

Below the session name there are three sections: Source, Target and Filter.

In this example, we will be merging John Doe’s PST files to a single PST file so we’ve entered John Doe PST to PST merge as the session name.

Update the Session name to so it describes for the task at hand.

For any setting that’s not specifically mentioned, you can either use the default (preset) value or consult the Aid4Mail 5 user guide for details.
