OK - I didn't realise it was beyond repair. Can you
explain what I should do to create a new profile - apologies for being dumb - but that's why I asking for help. Please can you explain what steps I need to take. Thanks. -----Original Message----- I already told you what to do. Overwriting a PST file will corrupt your profile beyond repair.

What I did was just pasted my existing .pst (with all the data in) in over the existing outlook.pst (since I assumed it was empty). I've followed Jocelyn's advice - the OAB was in the list.

Dear Julian,
before I would create a new profile, it could be helpfull only to delete the Outlook Addressbook and add it again. Tools | E-mail accounts, select "View or change existing directories or address books", and click Next. Delete here the available address book, restart Outlook and add again the address book.

Dear Russs,
The main reason to create a new profile is that it is just as easy to do.. I think everything is easy if you know how to do it. The difficult tasks fail mostly because that the simple bases are missing. We made the experience in our support that a lot of people ask (after they deleted the profile) where is the password for my email account that was deleted with the profil? ;-) I also have 10 email accounts and to create a new profil is a lot of work with a lot of email accounts.
