How do I rename outlook.ost and point to it

[brainstewn]

I can't get outlook to point from outlook0.ost to outlook.ost

Machine is Windows 7 running Outlook 2007

These are the steps I'm taking:

Control Panel>Mail (32-bit)>Email Accounts>highlight my email
account>change>more settings>advanced>offline folder file settings.

I can't point the profile from here and can't find where to point it to
outlook.ost vs. outlook0.ost.

Thanks in advance, I think all of us appreciate your undying help.

Ciao

you need to disable offline folders, then re-enable them.
