Help! Outlook 2003 Issue

[Angie S.]

I use Outlook to send/recieve/mange email from my gmail account. I've been
doing this sucessfully for nearly two years. Today it was also working fine
until about an hour ago and now I get a message that says "Unable to display
the folder. Microsoft Outlook cound not access the specified folder
location."
This happens when I try to access either my Inbox or Calendar but other
folders as well as Tasks and Journal seem to be fine.

When it tries to send/receive, I get a pop up window with this message:
Task 'pop.gmail.com - Receiving' reported error (0x80040600) : 'Unknown
Error 0x80040600'

I have closed Outlook and restarted it as well as rebooking my computer.
Neither helped.

Any advice? I'm not an advanced user as I don't know how to troubleshoot
this problem.

Thanks!

Have you tried running Detect and Repair? How about scanpst.exe?

No - I don't know how to do either of those things.

I figured out how to run scanpst.exe and it worked. Thank you!
