Outlook Archives and Personal Folders

Whats the difference between Outlook archives and personal folders in Microsoft outlook, everyone seems to mention either personal folders or archives, i’ve looked at both files and i cannot really see a difference apart from the name, they both even have the same .PST extension.

    Nothing, they are both the same types of files, i think personal folder is just a .PST folder thats just used to store emails, an archive usually has emails automatically moved into it.
