Create a new profile from scratch and use one of the supported methods we

thank you for that. it made think lsightly outside of the box.

now this is what is happening.
i delete the existing profile from outlook. then i create a new profile.
name it and then it prompts me to setup the email (cox.net) i try and it
fails in the second part. which is the "Search for server
settings" i click cancel and i create a account with no email setup. i go to
edit the profile and add the cox.net account and that same data (.pst) file
is holding on to being the default delivery location????

I understand that this is a problem but i do not think this is the reson i
can't get server settings for their cox.net account. is it possible that i
didn't completely remove the profile. i am very pc savvy but this seams to
be getting a bit higher up there in the set up. or i am being retarded.
