The following describes how to automatically set up a user profile that includes more than one personal folder (.pst) file.
To create a MAPI profile that includes more than one .pst file, you can use Automatic Profile Generator (Newprof.exe) with a customized profile descriptor file (*.prf). In the .prf file (called Custom.prf), insert each .pst file as a separate service:

1. In the Service List, define two services called "Personal Folders":

   [Service List]
   Service1=Microsoft Outlook Client
   Service2=Personal Folders
   Service3=Personal Folders

2. In each section, define the individual settings of the .pst files, for example:

   [Service2]
   PathToPersonalFolders=C:\Test\Outlook1.pst
   [Service3]
   PathToPersonalFolders=C:\Test\Outlook2.pst

   NOTE: Additional settings are:

   PathToPersonalFolders
   RememberPassword
   EncryptionType
   Password

3. Name each .pst file so that you can distinguish between them in the Folder List. To define the name automatically, edit Custom.prf:
4. Go to the Personal Folders definitions. They start with a header that is similar to the following:

   ;****************************************************************
   ;Personal Folders service definitions.
   [Personal Folders]
   ServiceName=MSPST MS

   If a definition is not already present under the header, type a definition that is similar to the following:

   AliasServiceName=PT_STRING8,0x3001
   ; -- Name which will appear in the profile service list

   and in

   ; Folder View.

   Use the variable for defining the names in each section for the services:

   [Service2]
   PathToPersonalFolders=C:\Test\Outlook1.pst
   AliasServiceName=My Oldest Mails
   [Service3]
   PathToPersonalFolders=C:\Test\Outlook2.pst
