Original e-mail account established with multiple related e-mail addresses. I
have added and removed related e-mail addresses in the past with no problems.
In this instance, after Default e-mail address was changed to an existing
operational e-mail address, Outlook made the changeof data location "without
permission" when the old (no longer valid - "former employer e-mail address")
was removed.

Prior to removing the former e-mail address, I did attempt to alter (revise)
the e-mail address without success. A new Outlook profile was created after
access to the "Main Identity" Profile was no longer permitted.

Unclear, confusing post. Shall I assume you are talking about email
accounts, not email addresses? If so what type of account is it? How did you
create your new Outlook profile? Why didn't you just use the same Outlook
data file as you did before?

Using Outlook 2003. Changed employers & e-mail address. After new e-mail
address created & confirmed as [Default] deleted original e-mail address.
Outlook did not transfer default settings to new Default e-mail address
folder as expected. Files have NOT been erased. Unable to copy settings
with
Windows Explorer. How do I "recover" or establish a New method to access
the
old folders?
