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.
How can I associate my email with my
default PST or delete the
default PST entirely? Luckily I have backu
