Create a personal folder in MS-Outlook
(copied from MS-Outlook HELP)

On the File menu, point to New, and then click Personal Folders File (.pst).

  1. In the Save in list, click the folder you want to save the file in.
  2. In the File name box, type a name for the file, and then click Create.
  3. In the Name box, type the name you want to display in your Microsoft Outlook Folder List for the folder.
  4. Select any other options you want.

Personal folders are saved with the extension .pst, and the folder items remain on your computer, not on the server. If you use another computer, you will not be able to see items stored in personal folders.

Note   By default, personal folders are created for messages. You can add other subfolders for other item types — for example, Contacts. In the Folder List, click the personal folder, and then on the File menu, point to New, and then click Folder.
