    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
