Outlook set to look for offline files--will not open
Outlook 2003 on Vista. Has been working fine until I was suddenly unable to
connect to my VPN server--but that's a different problem. I opened Outlook, which informed me that it could not connect to Exchange and offered "Work Offline" as an option. I selected that and got the error message: "Unable to open your default email folders. The file C:\users... is not an offline folder file" I clicked okay and the application closed. Now, every time I launch the application, it goes straight to that error message. I have no other options. I do not have the option to use my Exchange mailbox. I found knowledge base articles around converting offline files to different formats. That's not what I want to do. I want to use Exchange, but Outlook is stuck in a loop. thanks in advance. |
Outlook set to look for offline files--will not open
Whilst connected to your VPN, create a new Outlook profile using the Control
Panel "mail" applet, add your Exchange server details and re-set your offline settings. "Mr. Coffee" wrote in message ... Outlook 2003 on Vista.
