Hi. Have just tried to set up a Microsoft Exchange Server email account on my outlook (2007). I didn't like the warning messages about changes that would occur so didn't proceed. However, on reopening Outlook I am getting a screen saying "cannot display the folder. This is the root ofan IMAP store" etc etc and a warning message that my email accounts will not work as "a data file to send and receive email cannot be found". And they are not working. I can access my inbox OK but have no wish to see the message evry time I open Outlook. Is there anything I can do to get back to normal? I have the installation disc for Outlook and have tried a repair using the disc but that makes no difference. Help!

Go to Tools, Email accounts and delete the exchange account you tried to
add.

Thanks Diane - but I didn't set it up. However I have sorted the problem by reinstalling outlook and a new .pst file.
