Additional tips

• It's a good idea to backup your Outlook emails regularly, especially if you have a large number of emails or important messages.
• You can also use cloud backup services like Microsoft OneDrive or Google Drive to backup your Outlook emails.
• If you're using Outlook 2016 or later, you can also use the "Archive" feature to move older emails to an archive folder, which can help reduce the size of your main mailbox and make it easier to backup.
