I managed to copy the pst file onto the new directory where Outlook stores
its data. However, when I try to open certain folders that contain mail
within Outlook 2007, I get the follwoing message..
'The messaging Interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem
persists, restart outlook' I have restarted outlook and keep getting this
message. Anything i can do? These mail folders contain important messages
which I would like to keep.

Thanks

Don't ever export or import a native outlook file. If the pst file is on a
CD, copy it to your HDD, (do NOT overwrite the existing file, ie put it
somewhere other than the default location), remove the Read-Only
attribute,
then in Outlook go to File-Open-Outlook data file and navigate to where
you
copied it to. You then have two choices: either drag the data from your
old
pst file to the new, or set the old file as the default delivery location,
and just carry on using it as normal.
