Resolved Question

Find list of email accounts on Outlook, using cmd

Jul 20, 2017 2:52AM PDT

Hi there

Is it possible for me to find out a list of emails accounts (profiles) which have been added to Outlook, using command prompt?

Couldn't see any commands online to do this.

Thanks!
Jay

When talking about outlook, it stores all data in PST file. It is not easy to get that PST file. But you can try that with command prompt. Run it as administrator and type cd \ give enter and then type dir /s *.pst again press enter. You can find there PST file of outlook. Try it, might work.

Thanks, that listed the names (email addresses) of all the Outlook data files.
Also it should be noted that if no PST can be found you can search for the OST file.
