AUDIO TEXT

You can create folders for storing e-mail messages, appointments, and other Outlook items on your own computer (instead of keeping them on the server).

An Outlook file of this type is called a personal store (.pst) because you can personally store it on your own computer. And just as other files can be opened, closed, moved, or copied, so can Outlook .pst files. That's what this course, the last in a series about e-mail management, will help you to do.
