Try renaming the old .pst to .old and then retry it when Outlook is opened -
point it to the new .pst file.

CHanging a PST extension from ".pst" to something else will make it unusable
in Outlook. Never change the extension of you intend to use it in Outlook.
Change its name instead.

my outlook use IMAP.

The PST associated with the IMAP account can never be the delivery location.
