How reinstall Outlook 2002?

[Mark H.]

Hi,

My Outlook 2002 has been disabled now for awhile, due to an overly large
email stuck in the Outbox (suggestions I got to fix that didn't help).

So now I am biting the bullet and about to reinstall from the disk. I have
the 2002 Office XP Standard disk, but I can't see how to just reinstall
Outlook alone. I tried removing Outlook from the Add/Remove Programs
utility, but it just showed MS Office as a whole.

Isn't there any way I can uninstall/reinstall Outlook itself?

Thats not going to help, as the reinstall will just use the same profile &
data file.
Use the Mail Applet in the control panel to Create a new profile, add a new
data file (NOT the old), add the accounts and test (PS set prompt for
profile)

Thanks alot, DL! That worked!

Your welcome
You should now be able, in Outlook, to open your old data file and delete or
move data (drag & drop) to your new data file

Wow, that's even better -- thanks! That means I DIDN'T lose everything,
after all!

One last question: how do I recover my contacts? I had saved the Contacts
file prior to doing the new profile, but see now that the file hasn't changed
at all -- Contacts is a 32kb file in my back area and the original area, so
don't know what to copy/restore!

Contact are contained within your origonal data file, simply select them all
and paste to your new data file/Contacts folder
