Effect of Domain change on Outlook
My PC was a stand alone PC that previously belonged to a domain (that was no
more in use). I had Outlook running on it that could get my e-mails from several web e-mail services using POP3 (no Exchange). I had a few thousand e-mails in this outlook. For some reason I removed my PC from the Domain and join a workgroup. Now when I launch my Outlook, it wants to start from scratch. Can my previous e-mail accounts, rules, contacts, and vital e-mails be re-stored? Thank you in advance, Ben

Effect of Domain change on Outlook
If you were using a .pst file for your mail storage, it may have a different name than outlook.pst - search for any .pst file that you can find (search hidden folders as well). Once the .pst(s) are found, open Outlook and use File-Open-Outlook Data File. Open your old .pst and you should be up and running again.

Sorry for the confusion.
I see that I have my contacts and calendar, but I have not been able to locate my rules and e-mail account settings. Are they lost? Thanks again. Ben "Ben" wrote in message ...

Effect of Domain change on Outlook
If an older version of Outlook, your rules are in a separate file with a ..rwz extension. Your account settings are in the registry. What version of Outlook are you using (note - it always helps to post this information in the initial post - it cuts down on the guess work from folks trying to help)?
