The new Outlook for Windows is introducing a feature that allows users to export their entire mailbox or specific folders to a .pst file. This includes emails, calendars, and contacts. Think of a .pst file like a digital filing cabinet where you can store copies of your important documents. Just as you might schedule a regular time to back up your physical files, this feature lets you set a schedule to automatically export your mailbox data. This can be useful for keeping a backup of your information or for transferring data to another Outlook account.
In the same way that you might periodically clean out your office and organize your files, exporting to a .pst file helps you manage your digital information. You can decide which folders or types of information you want to keep and store them safely outside of your active mailbox. This can be particularly helpful if you're changing jobs or need to archive old emails for compliance reasons.
Future updates will enhance what you can do with these .pst files, offering more flexibility and options for managing your Outlook data. This development is part of a broader effort to make managing and safeguarding your digital information as straightforward as possible.
