I add gmail account (IMAP) in outlook 2016 but by default it creates .ost data file.


But i want .pst data file format for my gmail account.

In .ost file we can't protect data with password so i want to use .pst data file.

Someone please help to create .pst data file for gmail account(IMAP)

If you want a pst file, use POP rather than IMAP. Essentially IMAP stores its data on the remote server, whereas POP stores it locally. This of course provides its own set of issues - not least of which is the loss of ability to access the same data from assorted devices.
