No, I haven't and I don't want to (see my original posting). I just want to
use Outlook to sync my PDA calendar with, not for email.

Thanks,

Arnaud

Did you already set up your email account with your provider in Outlook ??

Hi,

I have recently installed Outlook 2003 on my machine (win XP SP2), and
every
time I try to start it it gives me the following error message:

"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"

So I go to the Windows Control Panel, double-click the Mail icon, I click
on
data files, Add... I only have one choice (Business Contact Manager
Database), so I click OK, and it gives me the following error message:

An exception occurred while trying to run
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL"C: \PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\System\MSMAPI\1033\MLCFG32.CPL" ,@0"

I did some searching on the internet, but couldn't find any solution to
this. Can anybody help? I should point out that when asked to set up a
mail
account the first time I opened up Outlook, I said no (and I don't want to
set up an email account).

Many thanks in advance,

Arnaud
