Where is my archive?

Archive that was stored in an Outlook archive file

If you archived emails using Outlook, then Outlook will have created a file (a .pst file) locally on your computer.

If you had to create a new Outlook profile and have lost access to the .pst file and cannot remember where you saved it (and/or its name) then we suggest you do a file search across your C:\ and H:\ drives on your computer for "*.pst" which will search for all .pst files.

It is not recommended that you create .pst files, however if you need to do so, we strongly recommend you keep a backup of that file.
