[QUOTE="Nyobie, post: 1524194, member: 305116"] I had a similar question yesterday regarding how to set up what we refer to in the Windows version of Outlook, as a pst folder or Personal folder. The only way I was able to make a folder that looks like a pst folder is to create an empty folder inside a pst folder I had imported from my Windows Outlook (using an external HD and just making a copy of the pst folder, then using the Import function on the Mac in Outlook 2011), then clicking and dragging the new folder to the bottom of the folder list. I let go of the mouse button at the bottom of the list, then the new folder alphabetizes itself with the other pst folders I had already imported. To be clear, you can go to Outlook 2011 on your Mac, go to File, New, Folder. When you add the new folder, it'll appear as a folder in your in-box. Next, select the new folder by a single click, then drag that new folder to the bottom of the side bar and let go just above the Junk email folder. When you let go of the selection, the new folder will alphabetize. You can single click the folder again, then right click to rename the folder. Effectively, this procedure does what appears to be the same thing as creating a new pst folder on a Windows version of Outlook. I'm not entirely sure if the MacOS actually creates a pst-like folder or not. I'm still figuring some of these things out. I hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
