Changing the Default Data File |
| | When you create a new profile, Outlook creates a new pst
for you. Because the default data file determines where new POP3,
MSN Connector, or Exchange messages will be delivered and where
Outlook stores your calendar, contacts, tasks, notes, and journal
items, you may want to use an existing PST instead.
Use this method, not File, Import, to use your old data when you get a new computer. | ||
|
|
If you are using an existing PST, add it to your profile using the
File, Open, Outlook Data File menu. The PST can be
stored anywhere on your hard drive. From the Tools, Email Accounts menu, select View or change existing email accounts, then Next to open the Email Accounts dialog:
Select the dropdown menu below Deliver new email to the following location and select the data store you want to use. In this example, I have two Outlook Connector accounts and one Exchange server account to choose from.
Select the file you wish to use and click Finish. You may need to restart Outlook for the changes to take effect. |

Adding a Data File |
If you need to create a new Outlook Data file or want to select an
existing one that's not part of your profile, you'll need to click
the New Outlook Data File button.
In the first screen, choose the type of file - generally you will have one or two choices, Office Outlook personal folder format (Outlook 2003 only) or Outlook 97/2002 compatible format. Select the format and click Ok to open the Create or Open Outlook Data File dialog. Enter a friendly display name for the data file and click Ok. |
