That will give you the Properties dialog for that specific PST file:Īnd there, right in the middle of everything, is the Filename and the full path to the PST. To find out about that PST, right-click on the top level item and then select Properties: The key is that each top-level item represents a separate PST. You may also see additional top-level entries for other email accounts or PST files that you have opened manually. In other versions of Outlook, you may see things called Personal Folders or Outlook Today. In the example above, is a Yahoo! email account configured in Outlook 2013, and is a Google mail account which has been given its own PST file.

(Not to be confused with, the online mail service from Microsoft, which is completely unrelated.) PST files are actually fairly complex databases that contain your mail, your calendar, your contacts, and even more when you use Microsoft Office’s Outlook mail program. PST stands for “Personal STore” – as in your personal mail storage.
