Joseph Lowndes It is NOT recommended to put pst files on ANYTHING external other than for backup purposes. Copy them to your INTERNAL HDD and in Outlook open them from there.

The first time you installed Outlook, you did so on a machine that had a prior version of Outlook on it. Outlook's mail profile, which keeps track of what PSTs you're using, is in the registry and upgrading from one verison of Outlok to another doesn't touch the mail profile. Thus, the new Outlook just used your existing mail profile. The second time, you reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled Windows, which created a new registry containing no mail profile, so you have to create one and point it at the existing PSTs. http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/newprofile.htm -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

... But NOT on an external device..... I don't see a reason for this caveat. External devices are no different than internal devices. The only thing you must watch is to make sure the mail profile is closed if you wish to disconnect the device and not reopened while the device isn't present. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

External devices are no different than internal devices. So how does an external device differ from a network drive in terms of connectivity then?
