Can I start outlook without connecting to my Exchange server? Each time I
attempt the "work offline" option I get the following message "Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. The information store count not be opened." I am pretty positive my Outlook pst file is not corrupt. A week ago I lost the connection to the server for a few hours and received the same message. As soon as the exchange server was back online everything worked fine. But I cannot start Outlook at all now to look at existing emails and emails received on different accounts ( non Exchange ) because of the above message. Thanks, Gary |

Are you using an exchange account? They don't normally use a PST. If the
exchange server is accessible sometimes, configure it for offline access in control panel, mail. You'll need to do this when the server is accessible. If its never accessible, you can add a pst from the control panel, mail dialog. If you connect to exchange while the pst is set as default it will delete all mail from the server. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

I have a PST file because I have multiple accounts. One account is an exchange account and the 2nd account is POP3 account.

No, you can set the pst as default delivery and the pop account as default
to get into outlook - that should let outlook load so you can set it to work offline - just remember to change the settings back before you connect to exchange and set exchange to work offline so its not a problem in the future. If it still won't open, copy the profile and delete the exchange acct from the copied profile - this is also done in control panel, mail. Set it to always ask which profile to choose when opening. (Or do it instead of changing the accounts around.) -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Outlook Tips by email: EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: You can access this newsgroup by visiting http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...s/default.mspx or point your newsreader to msnews.microsoft.com.

Thanks for the help. I was able to get into Outlook. Today our Exchange server is back online. I've turned "cache mode" on so I should not have this problem in the future if the Exchange server goes offline. Gary "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote in message ...
