Hi,

My outlook 2000 was working fine until yesterday. But today it froze
when downloading email from the server.
At first I tried restarting my computer,but that didn't fix anything.
Then I backed up my outlook.pst  file,renamed my current outlook.pst
file and created a new account.the pst file for this account is
personalfolders1.pst.

Now I could download me email and send email,but i keep getting a
message saying that outlook couldn't file outlook.pst file.is this
because i named my new pst file as personalfolders1.pst.

would renaming it to outlook.pst solve the problem?
Also will it give me problems in importing my old outlook.pst which i
have renamed.?

Please help me figure this out.

Thanks

The experts in one of the Outlook newsgroups will have the answer for
you. Try this one:

microsoft.public.outlook.general
