Default Outlook 2007 no mail in inbox

Easy Transfer corrupts the mail profile? Well that sucks! It must have
corrupted the outlook.pst and another .pst file as well cuz it keeps telling
me they're not personal files when I know they are.

Anyway, after deleting the profile/files and recreating the profile, Outlook
works as expected.

I tried to do the scanpst.exe on the .pst's but that also tells me they are
not personal files. Is there any other way to recover the .pst?

Thank you.

I used Microsoft's easy migration (?) tool to save the profile before I
upgraded the system, so that's what I was thinking that it might be
something
in the old profile that's causing this.


The Windows Easy Transfer program corrupts the mail profile and shouldn't be
used to try to recreate a mail profile. Create a new profile with the Mail
applet in Control Panel and point that profile to the existing PST(s). Add
the account manually.
