I have been asked to extract emails, attachments, contacts and calenders from a number of large PST files and to export the emails as DOCX files. I have written some VBA code in Outlook to do this, but the scope of this project has rapidly expanded and this is now too slow. I reckon there are about a million or more emails and attachments in total.
Can anyone recommend tools (free or paid-for) that can quickly and efficiently do this?

Google is the best search engine.
|

Google doesn't tell me the experiences that people have had with the tools out there.
|

It does if you search more deeply. Are you familiar with the word "review" ?

Your first post in almost two years reads exactly like the sort of "PST recovery tools" spam set-up question we regularly see in QA.

From the latest Netflix shows I am watching, South Korea sure seems the best hot place to be to experience ghost tourism!
I am sure there are tourism opportunities over that!

Ghost tourism? You already are in the Lounge. This place is crawling with the groaning ghosts of programmers past, who were literally frustrated to death, struggling with Windows' idiosyncrasies.

OMG! You are so perceptive!

ghost tourism??
from watching supernatural aren't ghosts bound to objects - in most cases houses.
how they supposed to travel?
anyway, no such thing.
'goats' makes more sense (but also travel restricted usually for quarantine reasons)
this internet has become nothing but fake news.
... time to fix it, time to get back to the fax!

I dunno about this show... I think I heard someone else mentioning it.. what a coincidence! 
I just binge watched "Bring it on, Ghost" and "Hotel Del Luna" on Netflix

Hmm... spinach doesn't fit. Damn!

I said poppable, not Popeye-able!

Go on then, I'll have a guess at bubblegum.
|
|
|
|
|
Correct!
You should guess things for a living

Well, I'd figured candycanes yesterday but didn't have time to come up with a clue for today, so it only seemed fair that I answer it today.

I was approached recently for a role with a local software house. As it was local, and the job spec sounded interesting I agreed to an interview. I recently had a second meeting to go into the role in more detail. I'm now really confused. The role sounds great, the MD (who interviewed me) was a really great guy and they want the role to guide them technically going forwards (so will have a lot of say in their technical decisions). On the other hand though, I'm happy where I am. I've built up the proceses, technical stack, architecture, build / release pipelines etc from scratch. I have made a huge difference since starting here 3.5 years ago. I have a personal investment and feel reluctant to just walk away from what I've built here. I have a lot of autonomy and decision making responsibility here too.
I'd be interested to hear other people's thoughts.

If money were my only motivation I'd spend an hour commuting to London on the train every day. The role I interviewed for is paying slightly more than my current role (they're not going to offer me less).

I'm not saying that money is the only motivation, and commuting time is certainly important.
The things that you mention are not, though (To me anyway. I respect that other people may feel differently). As long as you're happy with the company, the environment, the collegues, the pay, the commute etc, whatever you do shouldn't matter much.

When I was younger money was probably more of a factor. I'm older now *cough cough* and am paid well for the work that I do. So for me the things I've listed are important. I want to be happy where I work. I've had a few roles in the past where I wasn't happy due to things like the culture, people etc. So for me personally, happiness is more important than money.
