What is the easiest way to move PST emails to Hotmail?

Absolutely yes, and this is actually one of my favorite features! I had a 12GB PST file that was mostly large attachments I no longer needed. Using CloudXena PST File Converter, I was able to convert only the email body without including any attachments. The tool has a dedicated "Backup Emails Without Attachments" option that lets you choose whether to include or exclude attachments during conversion across all file formats. This reduced my output file size dramatically while keeping all the important email content intact. I also used it to Import PST to Hotmail with attachments excluded, which made the upload much faster and kept my Hotmail storage clean. The tool supports multiple email clients and file formats simultaneously, so I could create one version with attachments for archiving and another lightweight version for daily access. The date filter feature helped further. I only exported emails from the last two years instead of the entire archive. The Smart Duplicate Removal also ran automatically during conversion, keeping the output perfectly organized. If you want to reduce PST file size while converting across different file formats and email clients, PST File Converter gives you complete flexibility and control.
