my new colleague is taking over my old colleague laptop. i am trying to help
him to set up a email account. I went to Tools>> account setting and managed
to create a new email account for him. However, i realised the data file is
still pointing to my old colleague folder and apparently i cant delete the
folder (which is located in the C drive). How can i create a data file for my
new colleague without using the old one. Kindly advise.

Thanks Heaps

Control Panel-Mail-Data Files-Add. Then set the new file as the Default
Delivery Location. Then click on the old data file and select "remove". Do
all this with Outlook closed BTW.

i tried but the msg came out that i dun have permission to save in this
location. i m the administrator. Kindly help

Then create the pst file somewhere where you DO have permission....it
doesn't HAVE to be in the default location.
