Question

Hi,

I'm exporting a PST file in MS Outlook on Windows XP. It's writing the .pst out to the correct location, and the progress bar is indicating how long left. However as soon as the progress bar gets to the end, it starts again from the beginning. Is this normal? If so, how many iterations can I expect before it finishes?

Answer 1

This is normal behavior. It will display the progress bar once for each folder you're exporting, e.g Inbox, Outbox, Sent items.

It should tell you which folder it's currently working on. You can estimate the time left by knowing that it will always go through the folders in alphabetical order.

Answer 2

Ditto here... don't answer if you don't actually know what it does
