Yes, it is possible to convert PST to CSV without data loss, but it is not guaranteed with manual methods. While you can use Microsoft Outlook's built-in "Import/Export" feature to export data from a PST to a CSV file, this method has a few key limitations that can lead to data loss. For instance, it often fails to properly handle attachments, and it requires you to export one folder at a time, which can be time-consuming and inefficient for bulk conversions. Moreover, the process may not preserve the original folder structure, and the conversion of non-standard data fields may not be accurate. For a reliable, data-loss-free conversion, a professional PST File converter tool is the most recommended solution. These specialised tools are designed to handle complex PST file structures, convert multiple files in bulk, and ensure that all metadata, including attachments and folder hierarchy, is accurately preserved throughout the conversion process.
