Connecting to wrong server

[Carbubble]

I had Outlook installed from my previous company. I had access to all my
contacts and old archived emails on my PC.

I tried connecting to my new company and we got done and then realized that
my home PC wasn't on their domain, so we decided it would be OK to just use
the Outlook web client from home.

But now, I've lost access to my archived emails and contacts because it's
trying to connect to my new companies server. how can I delete that server,
so I can reinstall and get back my emails & contacts on my PC?

Use Tools-> Account Settings to reconfigure your account. Use File-> Open->
Outlook Data File... to reconnect any pst-files you might have.

the problem is that I can't even get into Outlook. I'm stuck on entering a
User Name & password. Outlook says it's trying to connect to my new
company's server. Is there a way to delete something that will let me start
fresh?

Use the Control Panel-> Mail applet instead then.

Great! thanks for the excellent help. I upgraded to Yahoo Plus and created
a POP3 connection and now I can get into Outlook and my yahoo email goes
there.

One last challenge - I've got an archive.pst file that's 53,000 KB that has
all my old archived emails. how do I get them back into Outlook? I tried
importing, but that didn't work.

You're welcome!

Simply reconnect the pst-file via File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...
