Outlook can't find .pst file
I am trying to migrate from Windows Live Mail to Outlook 2003 (which I have never used on my Windows 7 PC, although I use Office 2003).
I set up Outlook and my email account details, and Outlook's test message was received successfully (by Windows Live Mail).
But then when I tried to start Outlook, I got this error message:
Microsoft Office Outlook
Unable to open your default e-mail folders. Outlook could not start because a data file to send and receive mail could not be found. To add a data file, such as a personal folder file, double-click the Mail icon in Windows Control Panel.
I tried this but the only options open to me were modifying the mail settings I'd just set, or
Change settings for the files Outlook uses to
store e-mail messages and documents.
When I tried this by clicking the Data Files button there was no pst file listed. When I clicked Add, the only option available was
Business Contact Manager Database.
I tried it (it looked wrong but what the heck) but got another error message:
The .DLL file for the information service could not be loaded.
Help! I can't import or restore a pst file because I've never had one . . .
Thanks in advance.
