Outlook will not show mail

Hello

I have installed outlook 2007 including business manager.

Today I added my mail address as an IMAP account and it worked fine,
however, I have the following problems now:

1) The IMAP is not the standard account which means that the system has made
a seperate account for me which I do not need

2) Since I closed down Outlook this afternoon and reopened it the system
writes "Messaging has returned an unknown mistake. If problem continues close
outlook". Further it says it cannot show letter heads for my account.

I have talked to my host supplier and I have filled in the right information
for incomming and outgoing mails - any suggestions?

For #1, you have to have two different PST files because IMAP accounts do
not support the special folder types (calendar, contacts, tasks, and
journal) that Outlook needs to work. Therefore this is no way to get down
to 1 PST file under IMAP.

Not sure about #2 because in earlier versions (Outlook 2003 and earlier) it
could mean that one has exceeded what a PST file could contain. To give you
an idea in these earlier versions, the PST file could not grow bigger than
2GB and was limited to just over 65000 items per folder. This doesn't apply
to Outlook 2007 because it uses a revised PST file layout for IMAP accounts
which will support way more than this (20GB max file size). Of course the
larger file size is dependent on whether or not your hard drive is formatted
as NTFS or FAT32.
