    Hi Qu, The pst file will have the same timezone that the device has during the time of exporting.

    Hi @Qu, Paris

    An Outlook PST file does not have a time zone setting of its own. Instead, the timestamps for emails and calendar events stored in the PST file are based on the time zone settings of the Outlook profile that created or modified those items.
