Can't import .pst after machine rebuild

[Jean R.]

After rebuilding my machine and reinstalling my apps, I'm being prompted
that I can't import my .pst because the service hasn't been configured. The
problem is that I'm not seeing how to configure the service.
I'm running Outlook 2k, Internet only. How do I import my .pst?
Thanks.

Have you tried simply opening the .PST via File | Open | Personal
Folders File, rather than trying to import it? Re-using the same .PST
tends to work better than importing anyway...

Check to make sure the file isn't marked read-only. If it's on a CD,
copy it to your hard drive and then remove the read-only attribute.
