"Unable to open your default e-mail folders" error after Outlook .
After an install of office 2003, outlook will not open. It says to create a
user account, but that doesn't help. I've rebooted, and instaled all updates. Any ideas?

did you verify it's trying to open your pst? did you try renaming the pst?
That error often means there is a problem with the pst and it should (but doesn't always) create a new one when it can't find your pst. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Coauthor, OneNote 2003 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) Author, Google and Other Search Engines (Visual QuickStart Guide) Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Join OneNote Tips mailing list: http://www.onenote-tips.net/ "jdamon" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the suggestions. Sadly, they only changed the probelm. I've
tried creating a new pst and renaming old ones. Now when I start outlook, I get an error that says "Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Unable to open the Outlook window. The set of folders could not be opened." I got the same message with pst's "Outlook", "Archive", and "outlook1". Any other ideas?

"Unable to open your default e-mail folders" error after Outlo
I am getting the same error message after reinstalling Windows XP and then
installing Office 2003. Prior to it I was using Office XP(2002). I have been able to set up my email account using the Control Panel/Mail icon and connect to the Exchange server because on clicking Check Name in the final step, it underlined my username. But when I launch Outlook 2003, I get the error message - "Unable to open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to your Microsoft Exchange Server computer with the current profile before you can synchronize your folders with your offline folder file." I click on OK and Outlook 2003 closes. Can you please give me a step-by-step solution? Thanks a lot. "jdamon" wrote: I tried a new profile using "archive" and it worked. Thanks for your help.
