Installing Outlook 2003 on Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1

D

Dave

I am trying to install Outlook 2003 on my new machine but I get the following
message when I open Outlook....

"Unable to open your default e-mail folders. Create a new profile by
double-clicking the Mail Icon in Control Panel, clicking Show Profiles, and
then clicking Add."

I can't find where this is in Vista. I was running XP on my old machine and
Outlook was working fine.

I have not yet imported by pst file.

Thanks,

Dave

Are you using Vista x64? If so, Mail is under 32 bit apps group in Control
panel. Also, if you type Mail in the start search field (Start menu) the
mail applet (and Windows Mail email application) will come up. The Control
panel Mail has a bluish green round icon with a white envelope - if you use
small icons it resembles a globe in the Start menu.
