Re: [H] Removing primary Exchange account from Outlook 2019?

2019-08-21 Thread Christopher Fisk
Creating a new profile is easy enough.  bring up the run window and type
"outlook /manageprofiles"

Then create a new profile and import all your stuff.

You can also edit the profile settings from there, you might find there is
more than one mail account setup, or it's trying to read a second mailbox
that was shared with you.


Good luck!

Subject: [H] Removing primary Exchange account from Outlook 2019?

Hey guys, running Outlook 2019 out of MS Office Pro Plus 2019 with everything 
in it, Version 1907 (Build 11901.20176 Click-to-Run)

So I've been using the same Exchange server basically for the last 19 years 
(work).  Just left the job last week and had my access cut off.  Np, I just 
switched my Hotmail/Outlook as my default account and copied over my Contacts 
and Calendar and everything is sync'ing fine to my iPhone X!

BT, when I go into Outlook to remove the old work Exchange account, I get 
the error of "The primary account cannot be removed unless it is the only 
account in the profile. You must remove all other Exchange accounts before 
removing the primary account."

So I did some googling and it's some weird issue with Outlook and I see stuff 
about creating a new profile or even editing the registry, but since it's been 
19 years since I had to do that I was wondering from people who might have more 
experience with this (or recent experience) what would my best course of action 
here?  I still have old calendar invites and stuff popping up in my Outlook 
since the old work Exchange calendar is in there so I'd like to get rid of 
those but it's not letting me.

That info and any other recs of things I should think of since I haven't had to 
ever really do this would be appreciated!  Thanks guys!
