SYMPTOMS
If you click Cancel during the file export process to a personal folders (.pst) file, it only stops the export of the current subfolder, if there is more than one subfolder. It does not cancel the entire export process.



WORKAROUND
If the desired result was to cancel the entire export, you will need to wait until after the export is finished, and then delete the newly created .pst file. Clicking Cancel on each subfolder speeds up the incomplete export process.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
When you export to a .pst file, a status window displays the current folder that is being copied and has a Cancel button that is used to cancel the export of the currently displayed folder.
