What is Outlook?
Microsoft Outlook is a free desktop-based email client which helps in managing emails of multiple accounts on a single platform. It also manages tasks, contacts, calendar, and notes. There are many versions of Outlook: Outlook 98, Outlook 2000, Outlook 2002, Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, Outlook 2010, Outlook 2013, Outlook 2016, and Outlook 2019. The MS Outlook stores the mailbox data in two types of file format -
OST file: OST is for Offline Storage Table which saves the file on our local device which can access anytime even in the absence of Internet connection. You cannot access the OST file data of one device to another. When the user configures any email account with Exchange server and the Cashed Exchange server mode is enabled in Outlook or configuration of an email account in Outlook 2013 or higher version with IMAP incoming mail server then the complete mailbox data stores in OST file format at user end in offline mode.
PST file: The PST stands for Personal Storage Table format. It saves the Outlook mailbox data in a structured format. The PST file creates when the user configures any email account in any version of MS Outlook with POP3 incoming mail server.
