Here's how to Create, delete and use Profiles in Outlook on Windows & Mac.

A profile is a collection of settings that Outlook uses to connect to your email accounts, calendars, and other data sources. It also stores your preferences for how Outlook looks and works.

Here are the steps on how to create, delete, and use profiles in Outlook:

**To create a profile:**

1. Open Outlook.
2. Click on the **File** tab.
3. Click on **Account Settings**.
4. Click on **Manage Profiles**.
5. Click on the **Add** button.
6. Enter a name for the profile.
7. Select the type of account that you want to connect to.
8. Enter the settings for your account.
9. Click on the **Next** button.
10. Review the settings for your profile.
11. Click on the **Finish** button.

**To delete a profile:**

1. Open Outlook.
2. Click on the **File** tab.
3. Click on **Account Settings**.
4. Click on **Manage Profiles**.
5. Select the profile that you want to delete.
6. Click on the **Remove** button.
7. Click on the **Yes** button to confirm the deletion.

**To use a profile:**

1. Open Outlook.
2. Click on the **File** tab.
3. Click on **Account Settings**.
4. Click on **Manage Profiles**.
5. Select the profile that you want to use.
6. Click on the **OK** button.

Outlook will open using the selected profile.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind about profiles:

* You can have multiple profiles in Outlook. This can be useful if you have multiple email accounts or if you want to keep your work and personal email accounts separate.
* When you create a profile, Outlook creates a Personal Folder File (.pst) file for the profile. This file stores your email messages, contacts, and calendar items.
* If you delete a profile, Outlook will also delete the .pst file for the profile.
* If you have trouble with Outlook, you can try creating a new profile. This can sometimes fix problems with Outlook.
