Can windows 10 mail open pst files

Windows 10 Mail app can open PST files, but with some limitations. Here's what you need to know:

1. Outlook PST files: Windows 10 Mail app can open PST files that are created by Microsoft Outlook 2010 or later versions. These PST files contain email messages, contacts, calendar events, and other data.
2. Compatibility issues: If you have PST files created by older versions of Outlook (e.g., Outlook 2003 or earlier), Windows 10 Mail app might not be able to open them. This is because older PST files may use a different file format or have compatibility issues with the newer Outlook versions.
3. Limited functionality: When you open a PST file in Windows 10 Mail app, you'll only be able to view the email messages and attachments. You won't be able to edit or modify the PST file contents. Additionally, some features like calendar events, contacts, and tasks might not be supported.
4. Importing PST files: If you want to import PST files into Windows 10 Mail app, you can do so by following these steps:
   • Open Windows 10 Mail app.
   • Click on the "Settings" icon (represented by a gear) in the top-right corner.
   • Select "Accounts" from the menu.
   • Click on "Manage accounts" and then select "Add account".
   • Choose "Other account" and select "Import from PST file".
   • Follow the prompts to select the PST file and import its contents.

Keep in mind that Windows 10 Mail app is designed to work with online email accounts, such as Outlook.com, Gmail, or Yahoo Mail. If you need to work with PST files regularly, you may want to consider using Microsoft Outlook instead.
