4. Determine the name of the Outlook profile and for what do I need the name?
In Windows® it is possible to create different user profile. Normally you have min. 2 Windows profiles; the administrator and a user profile. In Outlook® it is also possible to have different profiles for the same Windows user. You could create an Outlook profile for you and one for your wife or a company Outlook profile and one profile for your private email account.
If you have more then one profile, Public WEB PST for Outlook® can not know which profile or which Outlook PST file you want to access over the web.
To get the right profile and Outlook PST file, Public WEB PST has a special "login" interface where you have to insert the Outlook profile and the username. We will explain on the following sites how to get the necessary information.
