When working with PST files, it’s important to select the right one for your needs. Here are some steps to guide you:
1. Identify Your Needs Determine what type of data you need to retrieve or archive. This could be customer contact information, past email campaigns, or specific email segments.
2. Locate the PST File PST files are typically stored in the default Outlook folder. However, they can be located elsewhere based on user preferences. You can find them by navigating to Outlook’s data file settings or by searching for `.pst` files on your computer.
3. Verify the File Integrity Before using a PST file, ensure it is not corrupted. Outlook provides a built-in tool called ScanPST.exe to check and repair PST files. This step is crucial to avoid data loss or corruption.
