Unable to access folders after changing mail server

[Sidhartha]

Hi,
I am using MS outlook 2003(win xp) with lotus notes connector to
access my office mails. Everything was working properly untill I
changed my mail server to a new one. The nsf file was also copied to
the new domino server. But after this my outlook stopped working. It
shows below message while trying to access inbox.

"Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook, Unable to open the Outlook
window.
The set of folders could not be opened. The server is not available.
Contact your administrator if this condition persists."

I deleted and recreated my outlook profile,but the problem still
persists. When i access mail though lotus notes client it is working
properly. Can anyone please help me to resolve this problem.


Thanks,
Sidhartha

Did you name the new profile the same as the old? Try keeping the old
profile and make a new one, using a new name. Delete the non-working one
later.

Hi,
I tried that also,but still no luck. The lotus admin said he can
configure with my id/outlook in his pc. Not sure what is happening. Is
there any chance that outlook still refers old mail server? I renamed
Outcmd.dat ,but it is not getting created again. Has this any link to
the issue?

Thanks,
Sidhartha

The only way outlook would be referring to the old mail server is in the
profile or notes connector. I don't know what files the connector uses, but
making a new profile with a completely new profile name would eliminate the
issue with the outlook profile.
