Easy way to generate a backup pst from a "regular" rackspace mailbox?

So, yes I did search before making a new thread


I am specifically talking about the "non microsoft exchange" rackspace mailboxes.

Any quick and easy way to just generate a pst that I can use to archive the mail before we cancel the rackspace subscription?

I know the tried and true ole fashion method would work... simply sign into that email address through an outlook desktop client
and let it pull the mail down. Wondered if there was another, simpler, better way. Been a long time since I did that, I'm not even
sure doing it that way would pull down anything other than inbox (sent mail, for example)

Nothing is more simple that using import/export in Outlook. Takes 20 seconds to do and then it get all the mail that was downloaded, that takes time. Be sure to do the filter applied trick.

filter applied trick?

So basically filtering things out when I go to ingest the PST into the new account?
