Hello,

The ectract worked, however it is without any dates. So I cannot know when the email was received or sent. Please advise on this.

Thank you

Hi there,

The built-in export feature does not include the sent or recived time. If you want to have the information, please try Kutools for Outlook's Quick Report feature.

Hi I did this last week with my sent emails folder and it worked perfectly. When I try it again now, the map custom fields and next button are both greyed out. Tried it with different folders and .pst files. Haven't changed anything. Not sure why its not getting through. Anyone has faced this issue?
