Thank you, Diane. I think I've got it fixed. But my settings aren't
working. I made three Profiles -- School / Personal / Business. Each has
its own email address. The email for School is imap -- and I can't get it
to download. I want all three profiles to use the same calendar. Is this
possible?
I appreciate your help; I have a year to learn Outlook before I start my
business.

| FWIW, outlook does not use separate folders for calendar contacts etc.
Add
| a folder names Outlook under the my docs & settings path, under
microsoft.
| (although I'd think outlook would create it if needed). Point your
profile
| to the pst - this can be in any folder. Outlook will create the files it
| needs, where it needs them. or copy everything back and check the file
dates
| in a few days - delete the ones it doesn't use.
|
| OE supports moving the news files, so that is ok.
|
| See
http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.asp for file information and
| locations. Toolbar customizations are in outcmd.dat - forms are in the
| Forms folder under the Microsoft path in my docs and settings. These two
| can't be relocated.
