How to automatically move outlook emails to a file folder outside of outlook?

Question

I have Outlook 2013. Is there a rule or automatic way to move emails from outlook inbox or directories to a file folder on my computer or onto a server? I tried archiving but it only creates a pst file and does not allow me to look at the individual emails afterwards. Thank you.

Solution

This is not possible out of the box. But it can be achieved using third-party product. As one of the developers, I can recommend ReliefJet Essentials. Its "Export Messages to EML Files" or "Export Outlook Items to MSG" utilities can be integrated with Outlook Rules and run automatically for each incoming email.

At least it works. You can't get everything for free in this cruel world.

Agreed. In this instance, we have simple solutions that work just as well with zero cost.
