How To Open an Outlook Data File (.pst)

There are two ways to open your Outlook Data File (.pst). You can either Import it or Open it. Importing your Data File will add the contents directly to your mailbox. However, if your Data File is large this will quickly consume the storage capacity for your account. We reccommend Opening the Data File, then transferring whichever items you need to store in your mailbox. Using Open instead of Import will essentially create an offline mailbox in Outlook. This way you are not using the limited storage in your mailbox.

To Open an Outlook Data File simply click on the "File" tab at the top, select "Open" in the left menu, then select "Open Outlook Data File":

import

 

Then navigate to where you have your .pst file located, select it, then click "OK"

The Data File will now appear in Outlook below your Mailbox.
