I wasn't really aware of the terminology before, but I can confirm
that my version of Outlook 2000 is running in Internet Mail Only
mode. As a home user without access to an Exchange server, is there
any other relevant mode?
I use Outlook 2000 in Corporate/Workgroup mode on one of my home PCs, even
though I have no Exchange server. For SMTP accounts it works the same and
gives me the advantage of being able to access the mail profile either via
Control Panel's Mail applet or Outlook's Tools>Services (which is
Tools>Accounts for IMO mode)
Given that the PST file currently associated with the problematic
Outlook installation now carries my latest email data, I cannot
rewind the clock and re-run the transfer from my laptop. Obviously,
none of the emails created since my original transfer are present on
the laptop PST file.
If I were in your shoes, I'd edit the registry to remove the existing mail
profile, start Outlook to create a new one, add in my existing PSTs, create
a new one if necessary (I don't recall whether allowing Outlook to create
the profile itself will also create a new PST), make the new, empty PST my
delivery location, then move all the data from the existing PSTs to the new
one. When done, I'd close the old PSTs top remove them from Outlook.
During the move (or copy, if you'd rather keep the old PSTs intact) process,
non-default folders thermselves can be moved. For the folders with the
default names (i.e., Calendar, Tasks, Inbox, etc.) however, the contents
must be moved.
If you need more detail than that, post back.
