Using Outlook 2003. Changed employers & e-mail address. After new e-mail
address created & confirmed as [Default] deleted original e-mail address.
Outlook did not transfer default settings to new Default e-mail address
folder as expected. Files have NOT been erased. Unable to copy settings with
Windows Explorer. How do I "recover" or establish a New method to access the
old folders?

Unclear, confusing post. Shall I assume you are talking about email
accounts, not email addresses? If so what type of account is it? How did you
create your new Outlook profile? Why didn't you just use the same Outlook
data file as you did before?

Original e-mail account established with multiple related e-mail addresses. I
have added and removed related e-mail addresses in the past with no problems.
In this instance, after Default e-mail address was changed to an existing
operational e-mail address, Outlook made the changeof data location "without
permission" when the old (no longer valid - "former employer e-mail address")
was removed.

Prior to removing the former e-mail address, I did attempt to alter (revise)
the e-mail address without success. A new Outlook profile was created after
access to the "Main Identity" Profile was no longer permitted.

Equally unclear. Since Outlook does not even use anything like "Main
Identity" I wonder if you are even using Outlook. Convince us you are and
try to post more accurate information. Your terms sound like Outlook
Express.

You obviously DO NOT KNOW very much about Outlook as part of the Office 2003
program. I do know the difference between Outlook and Outlook Express and I
have been a Office SB user for more than 15 years. Therefore, please do not
waste my time with any further BS.

Outlook does not use Identities. Only Outlook Express does. Posting unclear
questions is what wastes people's time.

Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.

You can also find some good Outlook Express information here:
