I've recently had quite a few problems with my system and backing data up, and on reviewing various areas of my computer I have the following question:

When .pst files/data are saved (drive:\Users\<username>\Documents\Outlook Files), is the date in the 'date modified' column current - i.e. would it show today's date if I am currently using Outlook?

I ask this because the latest date I can locate in the above file is some 4 weeks ago, and If I review this .pst file in a .pst viewer, it obviously doesn't hold a current reflection of my outlook files, which I would have presumed - or am I totally wrong and missing something?
