Create a new data file and move or copy items to it

1. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Outlook Data File.
    
2. Under Types of storage , click Personal Folders file (.pst) and then click OK.
    
3. In the File name box, type a name for the file, or leave the default, and then click OK.
    
4. In the Name box, type a display name for the .pst folder, or leave the default.
    
5. Select any other options you want, and then click OK. (If you are creating a .pst file, you can add a password of up to 15 characters. If you select the Save this password in your password list check box, make a note of the password in case you need to open the .pst on another computer.) The name of the folder associated with the data file appears in the folder list. To view the Folder List, from the View menu, click Folder List. By default, the folder will be called Personal Folders .
    
6. Drag any item from your current folders to the new folder. Press CTRL while dragging to copy items instead of moving them.

Notes

• You can open a Personal Folders file (.pst) from a network share, but you must have read/write permissions to do so. Make sure that the .pst is not in use by another user or program. Otherwise you will not be able to access the .pst.
