I usually learn programs by experimenting (a bad idea in an email program I
guess)
I opened a .pst data file from the menu in Outlook (didn't know what it
was?) finally figured out it opened personal folders. I apparently opened an
old list of Personal folders from our primary email into my 2nd personal acct
(same service provider) I apparently opened more than one. I figured out how
to close one, but now when I try to close it O get an operation failed,
object not found msg. What does that mean & what do I do about it. I
actually strted experimenting with this in the Primary acct. There are 3 data
files Outlook & Outlook1 & Outlook2. I think I lost contacts from my address
bk in the primary acct the 1st time I opened a Data file. Is this possible?
Have I screwed things up? If so how do I fix it without loosing emails.

What it means is that you've corrupted you mail profile (possibly by
deleting a PST from the Windows fodler contaiing it while still open in a
mail profile). TIme for a new mail profile.

Decide which of those PSTs afre the one you wish to have in Outlook and when
you create your new mail profile, specify that PST as your delivery
location.
