Outlook 365 message backup help

[decafjava]

Hello all, I just want some help in how to backup email messages on Outlook for Mac. I use a Win 11 laptop at work and it's straightforward to backup my inbox or sent mail folders: File->Open and Export->Import/Export->Export to a file->select Outlook data file.

Supposedly it's the same on Mac but the open and export items are blanked out and I can't select them. I don't think Time Machine backs up emails so I am not sure how to proceed on Mac for my home iMac or a couple of my colleagues' work Macs.

Any advice here??

Just checking if anyone has any idea.

Supposedly, Import / Export only works if you are running Outlook for Mac Legacy version - not in the new version. If you are running the legacy version there will be a tick against ‘Legacy Outlook’ in the main Outlook menu beneath ‘About Outlook’.
