About this tag
The tag 'default file' on WindowsForum.com relates to issues with setting a default data file in Microsoft Outlook, particularly when an IMAP mail account creates a .pst file instead of the expected .ost file. Users report that the option to set the .pst as the default data file is greyed out in Outlook 2010. Discussions focus on troubleshooting this behavior, understanding why Outlook generates a .pst for IMAP accounts, and finding ways to resolve the inability to designate a default file. The tag covers Outlook configuration problems and potential solutions for managing default data files.

    Windows 7 imap mail account creates .pst instead of .ost

    I have a weird thing going on in Outlook 2010. It creates a .pst instead of .ost. I've no idea why. The problem is that I cannot set that .pst as the default data file. The option is simply greyed out. I'm using Outlook 2010. Any ideas what's going on? Thanks
