MS Outlook 2007 Problems

[Coffeemate]

If someone can help me please; I use windows Vista Home with MS Outlook
2007. I recently copied my PST file from my computer in Vancouver and have
added it (imported it) to another computer in Toronto that used to belong to
an old staff member. His outlook still had information in it i need to keep
as i have taken over his position, so i simply exported my PST file on my
computer and impoted it to his.

The problem: When i use the SEARCH mechanisim above the inbox to look for
emails it will only find old information. It will find info quickly and
properly for the the information of the last user only, even though my emails
and info are in the inbox as well.

Example: There are say 700 emails in my inbox (i am trying to clean it up!)
if 200 are his emails and 500 are mine, when i do a search for a specific
piece of information it will only search his info and place results as such
to that.

Resolution: I assume there is a simple fix as this seems to be an isolated
problem as would apprecaite any help anyone can offer.

Thank you very much!

So you imported the messages into his mailbox or just opened your pst in his
profile? If the second, is the pst enabled for indexing? Tools, options,
Search options. If the first, try rebuilding the index. Control panel,
indexing options.
