Can't get e-mail in Outlook 2003 after hard drive upgrade

[email junkie in withdrawl]

OK, I'm missing something simple...

I use Outlook 2003, and ever since I've installed a new boot drive Outlook
"shows" e-mail is being received in the bottom progress bar, but no new mail
is ever shown in the inbox. I used Western Digital's Data Lifeguard program
to make the new drive my boot drive and then put it in the place of the
previous hard drive.

I've tried everything up to and including copying my Outlook.pst file to a
new location and then changing my Outlook config to point to the new file (I
renamed the Outlook.pst and the new name shows up in my file and directory
window on the left of the Outlook pane), but although I keep seeing the
"message X of Y" being received progress, none of the new mail ever shows up.

During the boot drive copy process some other MS config information must
have been lost because when I run Word it asks me to do a repair, but all the
other programs (and Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) all run 100%.

Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried doing a repair already?
You can also try to reset your send/receive settings by renaming your
srs-file to .old

Otherwise create a new profile (do not copy it);
Control Panel-> Mail-> button Show Profiles

To access your current pst-file in the new profile;
File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...

To set it as the default delivery location;
Tools-> E-mail Accounts...-> button Next-> use the dropdownlist below
