how to move their mails to PST file. In case anyone else is looking how to do

Outlook data files into an effective manner by moving all of them to an
particular location. Then Microsoft Outlook will easily redownload all emails
into a new PST file by doing some simple changes in the registry value.

Now, automatically move contents of your Outlook data folder and opened above to the new folder which you specified, after that Reopen Outlook. Everything should work as before, except your Data files are stored at the location were you want it.
