Importing .PST Files for SAR Requests

1.  Save the .PST file

Start by saving the .PST file in a convinient location. Your Desktop or Documents is normally a good idea as any changes you make will be backed up.

2.  Open Outlook Desktop And Select File

Open the Outlook desktop app and select file in the top left corner.

3.  Click "Open & Export"
4.  Click "Open Outlook Data File"
5.  Locate the .PST

Locate and select the .PST file you saved in step 1 then click ok.

Depending on the scope of the SAR this may take some time to import.

6.  Find The Imported Folder In Outlook

Finally the content will appear in the left folder view of outlook.

Depending on the scope of the SAR you will see different folders inside the data file and you can now review and redact the content.
