Windows Phone SMS Backup Export

Extract & Organize Old Text Messages Stored as Emails in Outlook

I do not have a physical phone that needs backing up. Years ago, my old Windows Phone automatically synced my SMS text messages to my Microsoft Outlook account. These text messages are currently sitting in a specific subfolder on my Outlook.com web client, formatted as individual emails.

I need a freelancer to extract these messages from the Outlook folder, organize them, and deliver them to me in clean, readable format that I can upload to AI tools for analysis.

The Task:
• Extract: Pull thousands of SMS messages (currently formatted as individual emails) from a specific Outlook subfolder.

• Organize by Contact: The messages need to be grouped and sorted by the contact (using the phone number or name in the email metadata) - bonus if I can read them chronologically like a normal chat log.

Deliverables:
• A zip file containing individual folders for each Contact.
• Inside each folder: the messages as readable text (TXT, HTML, or PDF), preferably containing the chronological chat history for that contact.

Ideal Skills & Experience:
• Email data extraction and scraping (Microsoft Graph API, IMAP, or similar tools).
• Scripting (Python, etc.) to automate the parsing of email metadata (sender/recipient) and sorting the output.
• Data organization and file management.
• Familiarity with Outlook.com / Exchange folder structures.
