Default Upgraded Hard Drive, Now Outlook 2003 won't receive messages

There's your problem. It didn't work. Your problem is with the transfer
software, not Outlook. At the very least, you should be installing the
applications you want to use on a new hard drive.

I didn't install it on the new drive. Western Digital supplies software
that
copies the entire contents of your old drive to the new one. I've done
this
many times (with theirs and similar software from other manufacturers)
with
no problem - til now.

I agree. I simply wanted to correct the assertion that you should
export/import PST files.
If you simply copied files you did not install your applications. How did
you install Office on your new hard drive?

I don't think the PST file is the problem - I tried creating a new one
with
the same results.

For the record, you should never export and import an entire PST file.
Just copy the PST file and reuse it.

Hello --- If I got the scenario right, have you tried exporting the
whole
PST file and re-importing again? I do this everytime i change
drives,
re-configure RAID, etc. It works.

Also, the problems being faced during installation could be due to
inconsistencies on the hard drive. Execute CHKDSK /F. Experiment
with
the
LIS (local installation source) utility available on the
microsoft/downloads
site.
