Outlook 2003 - Changing or Deleting Additional Profiles for Gmail
As mentioned in another post, I created a 2nd profile for Outlook 2003 to
work with a Gmail account and now that DL and others helped me get that going, I am going to delete this one gmail profile and instead do the same thing with a different gmail address that has more activity and need OL's advanced capabilities. Can I just change the profile/OL acct information for the replacement Gmail address and rename the pst file, or should create the new profile/email acct from and then delete the profile/acct that isn't needed? Or does it really make a difference? |

Outlook 2003 - Changing or Deleting Additional Profiles for Gmail
Option #3 might be better; remove the Gmail account that you do not want to
use anymore from your mail profile and then add the account that you do want to use. There is no need to play around with the pst-files. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "TerryGH" wrote in message ...

Outlook 2003 - Changing or Deleting Additional Profiles for Gm
Thanks Roady ... I will do as you suggest so just wondering if by deleting the un-need profile in XP control panel, will that automatically close out the OL'03 email account and associated pst file? Or do I have to do something in OL before or after the profile is deleted, and then go to the data directory and delete the pst file?

Outlook 2003 - Changing or Deleting Additional Profiles for Gm
Removing a mail profile will only remove the configuration and mail profile
specific files. It does not touch any pst-files. So if you want to delete the mail database (pst-file) for that mail profile as well, you indeed need to delete the pst-file manually. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "TerryGH" wrote in message ...
