error message outlook.pst could not be accessed, how do I fix

[Tony]

I cannot delete inbox messages, outlook.pst could not be accessed. I also am
not receiving any messages with Outlook 2000 either. Thanks

Try removing and re-adding the personal folder in your Outlook under Tools -
Services - Personal Folders. If that does not work or gives errors then
there may be a corruption problem with your personal folder. Run the inbox
(scanpst.exe) to check for error on the folder itself.

'Tools|Services' only applies to Outlook 2000 in Corporate/Workgroup mode.
For Outlook 2007 its 'Tools|Account Settings|Data Files'. On my machine,
Scanpst.exe is located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12.

Adding a new folder and making it the default folder in DATA FILE MANAGEMENT
solved my problem. Thanks for the idea.

You think Tony is still waiting for a solution after 58 months?
