Hi,

Thank you Brian.

Thanks to you and Diane I have got OL2007 'working.

It's just the restoration of the data in the 'old' pst files for
e-mails (not 1005 essential but necessary), Contacts (100% essential)
and Tasks (100% essential)

Do you have any thoughts?

After all these years with MS products and Outlook I thought I knew
what I was doing. Either I am more stupid than I thought, or my grey
cells are vanishing at a frightening rate.

Many thanks for your endeavours.

Regards - David

I have deleted the former Outlook profile and created another one.
Windows CP 'Mail' created a new profile under outlook2.pst.

PSTs are not profiles. Don't get them confused. Create a new profile with
the Mail applet by clicking Show ProfilesAdd. This creates a new key in
the registery. That's the profile.

In Control Panel 'Mail' it appears to send the test message OK. (Well,
it has been received into my ISP's Webmaik ok.)

On opening OL2007, My previous e-mails, tasks and contact appear to
have disappeared.

The Test Message does not appear.

I have extensive backups of pst files. elsewhere on my system.

How do I go about restoring all the previous stuff?

Use the Mail applet in Control Panel (the Data Files button) to add your old
PST. Use the "Set as Default" button on the Data Files tab to make that PST
the delivery location.
