Running Outlook 2003 SP2 on XP Pro.
I've had my Outlook.pst running in default IMO fashion on my desktop for a
long time, size now up to about 1.4 GB, though I'm trying to archive most of
that (see "Some emails won't archive" a few threads below). I have a new
notebook and need to run Outlook on that instead for about a week while I
wait for new phone and DSL service in our new office. I've installed the same
version of Outlook on the notebook and then copied the Outlook.pst file over,
but I'm getting unexpected behavior.
The emails are all there and the Contacts all moved over, but I've now got
to go through all the customizing of the layout and, more importantly, when I
click on the Address Book icon in the toolbar it says it can't display it
because the Contacts folder associated with this address list couldn't be
opened, it may have moved or been deleted, or I don't have permissions (which
shouldn't be an issue). Then it says to go to Help for info on how to remove
this folder from the Address Book.
I get the same message if I try to create a new email message and click "To"
to try to get to the list. I can muddle through by just copying and pasting
out of the Contacts list, no big deal, if necessary.
Is there more to this idea of moving the Outlook.pst file back and forth
between the desktop and notebook and vice versa then meets the eye? Are there
just a few more simple things I need to know to make that a fluid ongoing
process?
Thanks!
Jay
