Unable to open your default e-mail folders.

[Patrick Finnegan]

I got this message after unintalling Office 2003 and re-installing
Office 2000. Outlook defaults to network folders view. Seems that
Outlook 2003 pst files are not compatible with Office 2000. I backed
up the Office 20003 pst file and then created a new one using the mail
option in Windows Control panel.

C:\Documents and Settings\yourid\Local Settings\Application Data
\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst.

control panel --> mail --> add services --> add personal folders.

Restart ourlook and the standard folders appear in the shortcuts
list.

Hope this helps.

Patrick.

Not surprising. Outlook 2002 and earlier can't read Unicode PSTs created by
Outlook 2003 and later.
