Later versions of Outlook do not have the ability to create a profile without a working email address. Such profiles are commonly used when Outlook is being used only to open PST files that have been created as archives.

Running this command will create such a profile:

Outlook.exe /PIM <profile name>

So, to create a new profile called “snapshot”:

Outlook.exe /PIM snapshot

Remember that Outlook’s search index will have to be built for the data file(s) associated with this new profile so the search function will be limited at first.
