We are getting ready to migrate some email users to Office 365 from a 3rd party email host. They use outlook 2010 to access their email on Exchange server. I know how to export to a .pst file, however he wants me to configure the users to automatically start saving to a .pst file so that way it is ready to import when we make the change over. How do I do this? I know that Outlook saves to a .ost file normally, not sure how to make it keep a updated .pst file automatically.

Normally, Outlook will use .ost to save database when you configure IMAP or Exchange account. If you want to use .pst file, we can recreate outlook profile and change the data path, for your reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2752583/en-us If you want to keep your data from your old account then you need to have a .PST file, you can only perform a move or copy, or convert the file.
