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.


I wasn't aware that Easy Transfer performs any actual transfer, just creates a
package that you transfer. How did you physically conduct those PSTs from the
old PC to the new? Was Outlook closed when you initially copied the PSTs? Do
you have access to the old PC still where the original PSTs reside? If you
do, put them on a USB drive with a simply copy using Windows Explorer.

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


Yay!

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?


If you can't access the original PST, then your best bet is purchasing a OST
recovery tool. Usually, if Outlook says a PST isn't a PST, then the Inbox
Repair Tool will say the same.
