I have installed Office 2007 Professional. Word and Excel work fine, but Outlook won't open. It aborts with the following error.
"Cannot open your default e-mail folders. Outlook cannot start because a data file to send and receive mail cannot be found. To add a data file, such as a personal folder file, double click the Mail icon in Windows Control Panel."
There is no Mail icon in the Win 7 Control Panel. Any help is appreciated.
From outlook 2007; unable to open your default e-mail folders
"You could try going through Control Panel \ User Accounts and Family Safety \ Mail \ E-mail Accounts and create a new account there.
If you have configured an e-mail account and the problem is still there you
might want to go to the Control Panel \ User Accounts and Family Safety \
Mail \ Show Profiles \ and remove the current profile and create a new one
with a new name.

Thanks, that helped. I was able to start Outlook and setup an new account.
However, now I'm not receiving emails to my inbox and when I send a new message I get an error "The operation failed. An object cannot be found." Also, when I click on Send/Recieve, I get an error about "Out of memory and system resources"
Looks like I can use more help!

I created another new profile and now everything works.
A big thankyou to everyone who helped. I was really stuck.
