Depends on your mode.
Corporate Mode: (With Outlook closed)
- Control Panel > Mail applet
- Remove the current Personal Folder service
- Readd the service, directing it to the new PST file location
- Restart Outlook
Internet Mail Only mode:
- File menu > Open > Personal Folders file > migrate to the new PST file
location to open it
- Right-click on the root of the new set of folders in the folder pane (View
- Choose Properties
- Check the "Deliver POP mail" box
- Quit & restart Outlook
- Now you can Close the PST file that you were previously using (R-click on
that pst folder while in Folder View and select "Close <foldername>
Folders"). If you have any information in your former PST that you'd like to
transfer to your new default PST, you can drag and drop from one to the
other before you close the old one.

Thanks for your reply. I have two Personal Folders files, one is the Outlook
Today folder that was created by Outlook when it was created. The other is
my .pst file that I imported.
The problem is that I can't get Outlook to use the .pst file as the default.
For example, if I select to forward an email that is in my .pst file,
Outlook will not let me access my contacts list to select the person to
forward to.
My question is: How do I configure Outlook to use my .pst file as the
default?
TIA
David

Are you saying you ended up with two different Personal Folders files
in
the
same profile?
You must not have imported correctly.
You should just configure Outlook to use your old PST file as its default.

I have had to reinstall Windows 2000 (Again) so I had to install Outlook.
I
then imported my Personal Folders file.
How do I set my personal folder as the default instead of outlook today?
For
example, when I'm in the calendar folder in personal folders, when I click
on categories, it brings up the ones in outlook today instead of
those
in
my
personal folder.
TIA
David
