Hi Claude,

You can use File > Export inside of Windows Mail. Save it inside a empty new folder on the desktop or your user folders, then you can move it where you would like it. Scroll down a bit and look at the "To backup your email messages to restore later :" subsection under the "To Reset Windows Mail" section for details on how to do it at the link below.

I am having the same problem, why is it pulling email into the local folder
instead of the set pst?

Hi Cajun_Swabbie,

Windows Mail uses the ".eml" file extension for emails and stores them in seperate "local folders" now.
