How do i open pst files in windows mail
Windows Mail is a built-in email client in Windows Vista and Windows 7, but it's not compatible with PST files. PST files are used by Microsoft Outlook, not Windows Mail.
To open PST files in Windows, you'll need to use Microsoft Outlook or a third-party email client that supports PST files. Here are a few options:
- Microsoft Outlook: If you have Outlook installed on your computer, you can open PST files by following these steps:
- Open Outlook and go to the "File" menu.
- Click on "Open & Export" and then select "Import/Export".
- Choose "Export to a file" and select "Personal Folders File (.pst)" as the file type.
- Browse to the location of the PST file you want to open and select it.
- Click "Next" and then "Finish" to import the PST file into Outlook.
- Windows Live Mail: If you're using Windows Live Mail, you can import PST files by following these steps:
- Open Windows Live Mail and go to the "File" menu.
- Click on "Import" and then select "Personal Folders File (.pst)" as the file type.
- Browse to the location of the PST file you want to open and select it.
- Click "Next" and then "Finish" to import the PST file into Windows Live Mail.
- Third-party email clients: There are several third-party email clients that support PST files, such as Mozilla Thunderbird, The Bat!, and eM Client. You can download and install one of these clients and then import your PST file using their import features.
If you don't have Outlook or another email client that supports PST files, you can also use a free online PST viewer tool, such as PST Viewer or PST Explorer, to view the contents of your PST file without having to import it into an email client.
