Microsoft Outlook is one of the most used mail-clients. Despite all the improvements to Outlook over the years, adding accounts to Outlook still can be a little bit complicated. If you've recently accidentally removed an Outlook account, you want to restore it rather than go through all the steps to add it again. Luckily, restoring a removed Outlook account is actually quite easy and only requires following a specific procedure.
Step 1
Double-click the "Computer" icon on your Desktop. Navigate to "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook." Copy down the exact name of your .pst file as you'll need it in a later step. The name is normally "Outlook.pst" but may be a slight variation of this.
