Guide: Create or add existing personal folder file (PST)

Here is a quick guide on how you either create a new personal folder file or open an existing one.

From Outlook, follow below steps:

1. Click File

2. Click Outlook Data File (see picture below)

3. In this step "New Outlook Data File" (which only shows up on Outlook 2003 and newer) you can chooose between two format on the file that you're about to create or open. Either the top one which is the newer Unicode format (can store up to 20Gb data) or the older one that is ANSI format (limited to only 2Gb) which was used for Outlook 2002 and older. If you just want to open a PST, then this step doesn't matter so much. Click OK and go on. (see picture below)

4. Here in this step is the window for you to point where you want this file to be created or where you have your existing one. Just decide where and click OK (see picture below)

5. In this step you can decide which name, encryption and password you want on the file. If used for normal usage, just click OK (see picture below)

6. The new file will be presented in the left tree view. Just copy/create items there as you like.
