From: Jim D Jim on 17 May 2010 16:38 Tried to open outlook 2003 as usual, but it won't open - giving an error message that the folders are not accessible. I've tried installing updates, and rebooting. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall Outlook? PS: Other MS Office functions like Word etc are working fine.

Folders not accessible means that your .PST file can't be opened. I would use the mail applet in the control panel to define a new .PST file, set this new .PST file as your default delivery location, and remove the old .PST file from the profile. Outlook should start at this time and give you time to figure out what is wrong with the old .PST file. For example, you might make a copy of the old .PST file and then try running the inbox repair (scanpst.exe) tool against it to see if there is any corruption.
