Did you set up a mail profile and define the PST in it?

 

[Roger]

No I didn't since I don 't want it to be my email sourse, but it was working
before, it just stopped.
Thanks for the response.

A mail profile is required to use Outlook in any form. You need the
Personal Folders service definied in it at a minimum.
