When I try creating a new mail profile (Control Panel/Mail) it gives me the
error "There was an error locating one of the items needed to complete this
operation. It might have been deleted."

Any other tips?

Thank you for your help...

Try creating a new mail profile instead (also from Control Panel | Mail),
then tell Outlook to start with that profile. See if that helps.

I just installed Outlook 2003. When I try to open it, it gives me the
following error and closes:

"Unable to open your default e-mail folders. Outlook could not start because
a data file to send and receive mail could not be found. To add a data file,
such as a personal folder file, double-click the Mail icon in Windows Control
Panel."

When I try to add such a data file, it doesn't give me the option to select
the "types of storage" - thus I cannt add a new data file. Is there anyone
out there that could possibly help me? I am trying to have a working Outlook
program so that I might back up a malfunctioning iPhone that needs to be
replaced - I don't want to lose over 400 contacts and my calendar info..

Please help...
