Creating a Personal Folder

To move items from your Outlook mailbox into a personal folder, first create a personal folder:

1. Go to Tools, E-mail Accounts
2. Choose View or Change Existing E-mail accounts, then click Next.
3. Choose New Outlook Data File. A personal folder file will be the only option. Click OK.
4. Choose a location and name for the file then click OK.
5. Click OK again to return to the E-mail accounts window
6. Click Finish to return to the Inbox.

The new Personal Folder will be displayed in your folder list. You can move messages or folders from your Outlook space to your local hard drive or network drive simply by dragging them from the Information Viewer onto the folder. You can add to the Personal Folder at any time in the future.

The Outlook items in the Personal Folder are available to you only when the local drive or network drive is available to you. If you use Outlook from another computer or Outlook Web Access, items in a Personal Folder are not available.
