This document explains how to search for an Outlook .pst file and then add it to your Outlook profile. An Outlook .pst file is a file stored on your local computer containing email messages, calendar items and contacts that you have chosen to store offline.
To search for the .pst file, follow these steps:

1. To search for the .pst files:
   1. On Windows 10, click Start, and the search for "This PC", and then click on This PC.
   2. Locate the search field on the top right corner.
2. Type *.pst in the Search field, and then press <Enter>.
3. Locate the desired .pst file you want to add to Outlook. Record the location of the .pst file.
4. Close the search window and start Outlook.
   In Outlook 2021:
   1. Click on the File tab and select Open & Export.
   2. Click on Open Outlook Data File.
   3. Navigate to the location of the desired .pst file that you found during your search above. Select the .pst file and click Open.
5. Outlook will now display the .pst folder in the Outlook folder list in the left side menu tree.

Note: If you want to remove a PST file from Outlook, right click on the PST Folder name in the Outlook Folder List on the left side. In Outlook 2021, select Close <foldername>from the menu that appears. This will remove the PST from Outlook but will not delete it from your system. You can re-add it again later using the instructions above.
