Does simple mail support pst filesimple mail

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is a protocol used for sending and receiving email messages, but it does not support storing email messages in PST (Personal Folders File) format.

PST files are a proprietary format used by Microsoft Outlook to store email messages, contacts, calendars, and other data. They are specific to Outlook and are not compatible with other email clients or protocols like SMTP.

SMTP is a protocol that is used to send and receive email messages between email servers, but it does not store email messages locally. Instead, it relies on the email client or server to store and manage email messages.

If you need to store email messages in PST format, you will need to use an email client like Microsoft Outlook, which supports PST files. Other email clients, such as Mozilla Thunderbird, may also support PST files, but it depends on the specific client and its configuration.

If you need to transfer email messages between email clients or servers, you may need to use a different protocol, such as POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) or IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol), which allow you to retrieve and store email messages in a format that is compatible with multiple email clients and servers.
