Making the export IDs visible in Microsoft Outlook

When you view exported Personal Folders (.pst) files in Microsoft Outlook, you may find it helpful to see the export ID that Discovery Accelerator has assigned to each item. You can do this by adding a custom column to the view in Outlook.

The configuration option that is called "PST ExportID Column Name" lets you set the name of the custom column.

To make the export IDs visible in Microsoft Outlook

  1. Open the exported .pst file in Outlook.

  2. Right-click the column headers in Outlook, and then click Field Chooser.

  3. Click New.

  4. In the Name box in the New Field dialog box, type Export ID, and then click OK.

  5. Close the Field Chooser dialog box.

  6. Right-click the column headers in Outlook, and then click Customize Current View.

  7. Click Fields and then, in the Select available fields from list, select User-defined fields.

  8. Add the Export ID field to the list of displayed fields, and then click OK twice to close the dialog boxes.
