Returning to outlook, having a problem

J

Jeff Needle

Hello, all. I"ve toyed with Outlook a lot in the past, and am now deciding
to go ahead and use it full-time. Problem is -- I screwed around so much
with it, there's a bump there that I don't know how to deal with.

I had created several .pst files, but don't know which ones Outlook is
looking at. I decided to delete them one by one and see which one has the
data I need. After some experimenting, I found that mailbox.pst has
everything in it.

I had at one time created a file called jeff.pst. I erased it (it's still
in the recycle bin if I need to get it back). When I start Outlook,
everything seems fine, all the data loads. But then I get an error message
telling me that jeff.pst cannot be found. Somewhere in Outlook it's looking
for jeff.pst, but I can't find it.

Can someone tell me where Outlook is asking for this file? This is Outlook
2003 on a WinXP box.

One more question -- I have hundreds of messages I want to bring into an
Outlook folder. They're currently in a Seamonkey mailbox (Mozilla-based).
Can someone tell me how to do this? I can't find an import feature that
does this.

Thanks!

With Outlook closed use the Mail Applet in the control panel to remove the
data file, assuming your messing about hasnt corrupted the profile
