How to create a new e-mail profile in Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2003

E-mail accounts are contained in profiles. An e-mail profile is made up of e-mail accounts, data files, and information about where your e-mail is stored. A new profile is created automatically when you run Outlook for the first time. After that, the profile runs every time that you start Outlook.

Most people need only one profile. However, you might find it useful to have more than one profile. For example, you might use one profile for work-related e-mail messages and another profile for messages in your personal e-mail account. Also, if other people use your computer, their accounts and settings can be kept in separate profiles with different names.

Note By default, both the Outlook Address Book and the personal folders (.pst) files are automatically added to each new e-mail profile, except for those e-mail profiles that are created in Microsoft Exchange Server. By default, .pst files are not added to each new e-mail profile in Exchange Server.
