Can i restore mail lists from outlook

The nostalgia of old email lists!

Yes, you can restore mail lists from Outlook, but the process depends on the version of Outlook you're using and the type of list you're trying to restore. Here are some general steps:

Outlook 2010 and earlier:

1. Open Outlook and go to the "File" menu.
2. Click on "Open & Export" and then select "Import/Export".
3. Choose "Export to a file" and select "Comma Separated Values (CSV)" as the file format.
4. Select the folder containing the mail list you want to restore (e.g., "Contacts" or "Distribution Lists").
5. Click "Next" and then "Finish" to export the list to a CSV file.
6. Open the CSV file in a text editor or spreadsheet program (e.g., Notepad, Excel) to review and edit the list as needed.
7. To restore the list, go back to Outlook and create a new distribution list or contact group. Then, import the CSV file using the "Import/Export" wizard.

Outlook 2013 and later:

1. Open Outlook and go to the "People" or "Contacts" folder.
2. Right-click on the folder and select "Open Folder" to open the folder in Windows Explorer.
3. Find the CSV file containing the mail list you want to restore (it should be named something like "Contacts.csv" or "Distribution Lists.csv").
4. Open the CSV file in a text editor or spreadsheet program (e.g., Notepad, Excel) to review and edit the list as needed.
5. To restore the list, go back to Outlook and create a new distribution list or contact group. Then, import the CSV file using the "People" or "Contacts" folder's "Import" feature.

Additional tips:

• Make sure to save the CSV file in a location you can easily find, as you'll need to import it back into Outlook.
• If you're restoring a large list, you may want to consider using a third-party tool or script to automate the process.
• Be cautious when editing the CSV file, as incorrect formatting or data can cause issues when importing the list back into Outlook.

I hope this helps you restore your mail lists from Outlook!
