    • A profile is what Outlook uses to remember the email accounts established within it and the settings that tell Outlook where your email and other data is stored.
    • A new profile is created automatically when you run Outlook for the first time. The created profile runs whenever you start Outlook.
    • Most people generally only utilize one profile. However, if multiple people share the same computer as you, their accounts, settings and data can be kept in a separate profile that has a different name from your profile.

    Note: You cannot toggle between profiles while Outlook is running. To change profiles, you must exit Outlook, and then select the appropriate profile when you restart Outlook.
