I'm moving Outlook 2010 to a new computer. There are two POP email accounts in Outlook. However, there are three PST files: email1.pst, email2.pst, and outlook.pst. email1.pst and outlook.pst are about the same size. email2.pst is small since the account is not used much. All three pst files are valid and in use since all three have today's date. I've moved Outlook plenty of times in the past, but this is the first time I've moved Outlook 2010 or later. How do I use three pst files for two email accounts? Is outlook.pst a combination of email1.pst and email2.pst?
An installation of Outlook 2013 I did does not contain an outlook.pst file. What I do know is that outlook.pst is not an archive file. When I look at Data File Properties in Outlook setup, outlook.pst is set as the default file. My guess is that outlook.pst was moved to this computer, it was set as the default file, and when the email accounts were added, the other two PST files were created. If that's correct, why is outlook.pst being updated?
