email question

[J Lunis]

Outlook 2007 / Vista Home Premium

Not even certain I know how to ask this one.
I have moved my pst from Outlook on one PC to Outlook on another. Both
are Outlook 2007.
For some reason - maybe by design - my email settings did not accompany
the pst file (although all email messages already received DID transfer).
I set up a new account so I can get email and it works perfectly.
My problem is I now have 2 accounts(?) in the Outlook that my pst was
transferred to - one named as the original pst and one created when I
created a new email account. What I want is one pst with the email
settings associated with it. How do I do this? There is only one
account in Tools|Account Settings and that is the one I created.

That's because email settings don't get stored in the pst file - they never
have in any version of Outlook.

Do Control Panel-Mail-Show Profiles. Click on Properties and then Data Files
and remove the one you don't want. (Note - this does not DELETE the pst
file - all it does is remove it from the profile).
Once you have removed it from the profile successfully, you can then use
Windows Explorer to delete the file. Make sure that any emails that went
into that pst file have been copied over to the other pst file first!
