From: Peter Foldes on 12 Dec 2009 15:30 Huh? Can you rephrase your Question. Are you looking for the pst files or are you looking for a single email as the pst. Very hard to understand what exactly you are looking for and how -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

From: JDS on 12 Dec 2009 16:39 I have an outlook.pst file on my pc, copied from another pc. I just installed outlook and I was hoping that when I started it up, rather than it just creating its own new outlook.pst file, I could point it to the file a copied over. I know some programs have the option of holding down a key at start up so you can browse to the data file.

From: Russ Valentine on 12 Dec 2009 17:23 Outlook 2003 and 2007 always create a new PST file once you install and configure them for an Internet Mail Account. Only Outlook 2010 will provide an option to choose an existing PST file before it creates another. If you already configured a profile with an account, you will have a new PST file which, of course, you don't need. Just open the PST file you'd rather use, set it as your default, restart Outlook, and then you can close the new PST file you never needed in the first place. Outlook always thinks it knows better than you do. Sadly, it never does. -- Russ Valentine "JDS" <noway(a)notnow.net> wrote in message news:O9eYLO3eKHA.1824(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >I have an outlook.pst file on my pc, copied from another pc.

Rename the current .pst file that the mail profile in Outlook is using, like to <file>.old_pst. Then load Outlook. It won't find the .pst by the filename it was previously told and lets you go find a .pst file. (I haven't done this in many years but recall that's how you get Outlook to prompt and go hunting for a .pst file.) |
