What Is the File Extension .Iaf?

Microsoft Outlook is a computer software program used for sending and receiving emails. A number of files are associated with Microsoft Outlook, including .iaf files.

Identification

A file with the .iaf file extension is known as an account settings file.

Function

Iaf files contain the information about email accounts that you select to have Outlook access. The .iaf file extension serves as a marker to your computer, allowing Outlook to locate the file when it is needed for the program to function properly.

Features

The .iaf file extension saves the username, password and server information for an email account. If you use Outlook to check more than one email address, there is one .iaf file for each account.

Version

Iaf files are only utilized by the 97 and 2000 versions of Microsoft Outlook.

Considerations

If you delete an .iaf file extension from your computer, you will no longer be able to access the email account the file references.
