In the process of migrating email servers I've run into an interesting problem: In Outlook 2007 you have the default "Personal Folders" item. This contains the email for the account that was origionally setup with Outlook.
My issue is that I have deleted the account associated with that and created an entirely new account. So now I have "Personal Folders" and "
[email protected]". However I can't delete "Personal Folders". nor associate "
[email protected]" with that PST file. Deleteting it in Outlook (Tools Account Settings Data Files) gave the error "The default data file cannot be removed, because it is your default delivery location. After you have selected a different default delivery location, your current file can be removed."
Deleting the PST file itself (outlook.pst) made outlook demand where its default file . would be. So I selected my "
[email protected]" PST file and restarted Outlook. Now "Personal Folders" is called "
[email protected]", but I still have a
duplicate account called this. Which is bad. Worse, my email is associated with the
duplicate PST, not the default.
