RE: W2K: Probably missing the obvious...

Hi Pavel,

I appreciate the help, but this doesn’t seem to do the trick either. I pointed to the outlook.pst file and for some reason Outlook doesn’t read it. I’m currently checking the permissions on the file and host directory.

Thanks again.

To Jesse Gardner,

If you are concerned only with your Outlook 2000 settings and you are not using Outlook express try the following. Copy (just to make sure don't move just copy) your .pst file to one folder you choose (it can be any folder for example MailShared). Then under your old and new IDs simply start Outlook go to File-Open-Personal Folders File and open it in both IDs in that case you can override the problems of using two different profile by setting up the profile independent system of mail and contacts storage it worked fine with me. I know that there is something similar with the Outlook express where you directly tell which folders are used for email but never looked. The best option for you would be using IMAP for your mail. You will like it. Ask your email provider.

Scenario:

OS = 2000

Laptop = 2K Pro

Server = 2K Adv Srvr

Laptop:

I have been using an ID (admin level [local]) for years (profile is just how I want it). Created a network at home. Can see the network, but when I create a network ID I lose my desktop (profile) settings. I especially don’t want to re-configure Outlook 2K for this profile. My already existing mail is not accessible. It’s a pain rebooting to access my current email setup. Question, do I copy the profile to gain old settings (desktop) on network ID? If so, is that done using the copy to feature in the profile section? Can I add this local account (ID) to the server (AD)?

I am doing something wrong and I can’t put my finger on it. I just know it…

Server:

See above… (got carried away)

Note: For those of you that have never used W2K Advanced Server, try it. You’ll love it!!

As always, any assistance will be greatly appreciated. So, thanks in advance.
