Personal Folders are used in Outlook to store e-mail messages on your local computer. Doing so moves the messages off the server.

To install Personal Folders:

1. In Outlook, click File | Data File Management.

2. In the Outlook Data File window, click Add.

3. Click on the second entry, "Outlook 97-2002 Personal Folders File (.pst)" and click OK.

4. Accept the default folder location and file name by clicking OK.

5. The next screen lists compression options. Nothing needs to be changed her so click OK.

6. Click Close to return to Outlook. In your Folder List, you'll see the new Personal Folders section.

You can create subfolders here and move mail from your in-box to these folders.
