Outlook 2000, Mail Delivery Location

Recently, after I was setting up different users in my new
OS(Windows XP) and while not being very attentive to some
messages that were coming from Outlook 2000, on its start
up, during the process:

1) Outlook Today started to default only to Archive
Folders.
2) All new e-mails are being delivered into Inbox that is
within the Archive Folders.
3) My Personal Folder stands outside of the Outlook Today
Folder.
4) Using the Customize Outlook Today does not resolve the
issue.

How to link my Personal Folder to the Outlook Today?

Thank you.

you need to change delivery options in the account
manager. there is a drop down box that allows you to point
to the desired location. this will also change your
outlook today to reflect the new delivery location.
 
Right-click the root folder of the personal folders file you want to be your
default, then click Properties. The option to make this file your default
mail delivery location should be on the General tab.

Jocelyn,

You are brilliant! Thanks a lot! Happy Holidays to you all
year ahead! :-)

Now, I also see all my address book inputs that I was
generating for two years. I was puzzled where they were
hidden.

Great schooling and desire to help others, for free!

I can not stop thanking you. I have spent almost all day,
today, while having my sons visiting us out of town,
searching MS Knowledge Base for the solution of the
problem caused by my reckless exploration of Windows XP
ability to set different users accounts...

P.S. By the way, why I can not find file *.pab? Since I
have an Address Book, shouldn't that file exist?
 
No. Outlook hasn't used a .PAB file for a long time. The Outlook Address
Book is just a different view of the contents of your Contacts folder(s),
and is not a separate entity. Happy Holidays to you as well. :-)
