What is an e-mail profile? E-mail profiles are what Outlook uses to remember which e-mail accounts you use and where the data for each account is stored. Each profile provides Outlook with the following information:
- What account information to use This information includes the user name, display name, e-mail server name, and Internet service provider (ISP) account password.
- Where the e-mail data is delivered and stored In Outlook, data is delivered and stored either on the e-mail server or a in .pst file on your computer. This data includes rules, messages, contacts, calendars, notes, tasks, journals, Search Folders, and other settings.
Outlook e-mail profiles are stored in the Windows registry. When Outlook starts, it retrieves the profile information from the registry.
