outlook 2003, I am just in the middle of recoving from a corrupt user
profile problem. I have followed the instructions about creating a new user
profile and copying old profile to new etc etc. All was well until I tried
my outlook prog and find that none of my mail profiles have been imported
and there is no send and receive button in the program, can anyone help?
 
Hi James and thanks,
I have had a problem with my user profile. I received a corrupt user profile
message when I tried to login so I followed instructions on how to create a
new user profile and copy my existing profile to it. I also imported my
outlook .pst file which has restored my contacts and mail but not my e mail
accounts. I was under the impression that my e mail account settings could
be retrieved, is this correct?

From my experience, no. Accounts are not stored in the PST file. I back mine
up separately.

thx James, I have re entered my mail settings but when I imported my outlook
file everything is duplicated in my personal files how do I resolve this?
 
Just to clarify: you now have 2 "personal folders"?

No James, I have one personal folder with duplicate mails in it

You can just delete the duplicates, then. Or you delete them all (except the
latest ones), then re-import the PST file as you did before. Just save all
the newer emails that the old PST file would not have.

that is easier said than done, I have about 5000 mails in the folder of
which half are dupes
I would have to spend a week sorting them out.
 
Yes, that *would* be a lot of work! I suppose you could always "sort by
Conversation", and that would help to group together similar messages.
