If the data you need is exposed in some of the default "fields" supported by Outlook, you can simply copy/paste it to Excel or similar. To do so, select the folder where the messages are located and make sure to adjust the set of fields (columns) to match your needs. You can right-click on a column name and select Field chooser to add additional ones. Once you are satisfied with the set of fields, press CTRL+A to select all messages (or manually select the ones you care about), then CTRL+C to copy the metadata. Switch to Excel, CTRL+V to paste it, or use the Import wizard.
If the relevant data is held within the body of the messages, you will have to use a programmatic solution instead. The usual choice would be the EWS API, and if you are using Exchange Online, you can also leverage the Graph API.
