Personal Folders files are data files stored on your hard drive that contain Outlook items such as messages and calendar items. Your Outlook items are saved to a Personal Folders file if you are not connected to a Microsoft Exchange Server. Mail and other Outlook items are delivered to a Personal Folders file if you are working remotely and downloading from a Microsoft Exchange Server, or using Outlook to connect to another e-mail service. The default Personal Folders file is My Outlook Data File(1).PST . However, you can create additional Personal Folders files in which you can store any folders, forms, or files as desired. Personal Folders files have a .pst extension and can be stored on your hard drive or any network drive to which you have permission. When you create a Personal Folders file, you name the file and the folder, as well as indicate the location in which you want it stored. To provide security for the Personal Folders file, you can set a password.
