HELP for 2007 Office - When trying to delete or send it won't allow me

Henry140985 · 31 Oct 2011

Will receive emails but when trying to delete or send it won't allow it to happen.

WTF is going on? I have checked the SMTP settings and the POP3 settings but no joy on finding a fix!!

I deleted my accounts for sky and Hotmail from my 2007 office by total mistake but then when I set them up again these problems started to happen.

This error appears - The file C:\Users\Henry\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst is in use and cannot be accessed. Close any application that is using this file, and then try again. You might need to restart your computer.

* Repairing Your PST File

To repair your PST file, you’ll have to open the Scanpst.exe utility that’s included by default with Outlook. The only problem is that there’s no shortcut to it, so you’ll have to find it in the Outlook folder.

Open up explorer and then browse down to the following folder for Outlook 2007:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12
