I'm trying to move the outlook.pst folder to Outlook on my new notebook. When
importing the folder from the flash drive, the process freezes and eventually I need to cancel it. Now Outlook won't open and also freezes. What did I do wrong, and how can I get rid of the data in outlook (old emails) and start over? I've already restored my notebook and reinstalled office with all of the updates, and I don't want to do it a third time. |

What did I do wrong, What you did wrong is believe export and import have anything to do with transferring PSTs between Outlook instances. and how can I get rid of the data in outlook (old emails) and start over? A new mail profile should work. http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/newprofile.htm -- Brian Tillman |

Neither of those suggestions fix the fact that when I launch Outlook it
freezes and I can't change anything in it or click on anything in the toolbar, the calendar, etc. When I did the import, it transferred the contents of my inbox, but it seemed to corrupt the entire application. I thought that removing Outlook and reinstalling would help, but it didn't. Any other suggestions?

You may want to consider a new mail profile as well. -- Brian Tillman |

I just removed office and reinstalled. Now I need to figure out how to
cleanly get that pst file in there so outlook doesn't hang on me again. I'll go to the instructions posted as above. Wish me luck....

Wish me luck.... No luck needed. In Control Panel's Mail applet add the PST to the profile. That should have been covered in the web page I cited in my first reply. -- Brian Tillman |
