If you are using an Exchange server with Outlook, there is no PST file. It is a OST file instead.

Pop Accounts use PST files.

In an Exchange environment, the emails are in an ost file. You are able to export the emails to a pst file and save the file locally to your pc. But any new emails will go to the ost file.

@ pepelepieux

does IMAP account use pst or IMAP account allows pst as default?

[Shawn76]

IMAP and POP both use pst as well. ost files are only used in the Exchange environment.

i have .ost but i want .pst as default in my outlook 2010. i can make as default but the problem is after making it default email still coming in .ost and i have to click send & receive to send it to .pst which is really weird coz it should come automatically.
