HELP PLEASE, Cannot create a new message...

[Guest]

I get a warning dialog stating "Cannot create an email message because the
data file to send and receive messages could not be found. To add a data file
such as a personal folder file, double-click on the Mail icon in Control
Panel."

OK... I am setting up Outlook from scratch because I had to reformat my HD
and re-install everything. I have the setup the email account properly, can
send and receive a test message, I copied my backed up Outlook.pst file in
the C:\Documents and Settings\Douglas\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook directory, have contacts in my contacts file, Tasks
and notes work fine as well as Calendar, and can hit the Send and Receive
button and receive emails.

BUT, when I try to create a New Mail Message I get the warning above. I
went to the CP and clicked on the Mail Icon, Data Files, Personal Folders,
Open Folders... and low and behold, there is my Outlook.pst file.

Humm, pesky little problem, but I know one of yawl’ has the answer out there!

Thanks in Advance,
Sixbells

No need to ask multiple times.

Understood Brian, but I was stuck and did was afraid that the question would
be buried. I will not let it happen again.

Have a great weekend.
