Can microsoft mail app create pst
The Microsoft Mail app, which is a part of the Microsoft Outlook app, can create PST (Personal Folders File) files, but with some limitations.
Here are the ways the Microsoft Mail app can create PST files:
- Importing emails: When you import emails from another email account or a backup file, the Microsoft Mail app can create a new PST file to store the imported emails.
- Archiving emails: The app allows you to archive emails, which can create a new PST file containing the archived emails.
- Manual creation: You can manually create a new PST file by going to the "File" menu, selecting "Open & Export", and then choosing "Export to a file". From there, you can select the PST file format and specify the location and name of the file.
However, there are some limitations to consider:
- PST file size: The Microsoft Mail app has a limit on the size of PST files it can create. The maximum size is 20 GB, which is a relatively small size compared to other email clients.
- PST file format: The app creates PST files in the older PST 1.0 format, which is not compatible with some third-party email clients or older versions of Outlook.
- Limited customization: You may not have as much control over the PST file creation process as you would with other email clients, such as Outlook.
If you need more advanced PST file creation features or larger PST file sizes, you may want to consider using a different email client, such as Microsoft Outlook or a third-party email client like Thunderbird.
