By the way, Office is also incompatible with Windows 7: it's windows won't adopt the colors and borders you set, at least not if you use the Windows Classic theme. So it's hard to see, and grossly inconsistent with everything else on the computer, as if the program were designed by rank amateurs. While you lose any hope it will pick up much of your old customizations, at least it functions.
And Outlook has a great new command that lets you copy your view settings for one folder to a bunch of others, all at once. It's hard to remember where it is, but you can find it if you look hard enough. Note that if you have a lot of messages on your email server, you might want to delete most of them using a web interface, or you could have a long wait while duplicates are downloaded when the new Outlook does actually start to work.
I hope this helps someone; I feel your pain. I am an MSFT employee who ran into this problem. The problem was caused by moving my wife's primary. It essentially breaks the destination setting for where email is saved, and stops delivering email. I am running Win 7 on Office Went into Outlook. When the window pops up called account settings , the email tab should immediately be highlighted. Look to the bottom of the tab and you will find a radio button titled "change folders".
Select this button and select the destination folder I selected inbox. Make sure that you know where your. If you double click on the file location it will open a box that includes the filename, you can copy this and paste it minus the file name at the end into an explorer window to open the folder it is in mine was hidden.
Make sure you have only one. Multiple versions is what messed mine up. I had to delete them both and save a new file from my old computer. Well, for fixing account email. I did the similar thing as above said. I have 18 accounts and only one of them showed the error.
I found it was the email folder the email account set wrong. Here was what I did:. Highlight the account with error, then click "Change Folder" button, point it to Inbox or where it was before. In my case, it was pointed to Archived Folder so it had error. After it, the error msg is disappeared. Just for your 2nd comments, I used BackRex Outlook Backup demo and it actually transfered all my email accounts and. It saved me a lot of time to setup each account because if you just copy the.
Imagine if you you have accounts in your email box. All the instrucutions posted work fine for POP. Every time you create an account or want to move the file, Outlook will create a new file for the IMAP account. I have this problem after have moved the IMAP. Then comes the error 0xF If you have moved the file you probably has now a new problem: "Error 0xF: Outlook data file cannot be accessed" NOTE: this solution edits your computer registers.
Be carefull! Close Outlook. Click on Start then type regedit to open the register editor;. Right click on this folder and Export to save the actual configuration.
Find the folder or folders if you have more than an account that has the " Delivery Store EntryID " key. The data in the key is in HEXA. On the righter column you will find the data in normal chars.
Go to the end and find the path to the original data file. Edit it pointing the entire path to new folder of the file. If any problem comes up, click on the file you exported to restore the orginal register settings. I'm not sure this is the best way to move an IMAP pst file Do not move your pst file to a driver outside your computer.
You may experience many erros and slower performance or even lose of data. Vonah - thank you!! You just saved several hours of my life from misery of recreating profile and re-downloading mail!
I had a virus and when restalling and setting up Outlook I ran into this same problem "Outlook data file cannot be accessed". I had found my outlook. Outlook worked, then I moved outlook. After reading this thread I went back and looked at the Change Folder button. There was no folder selected and I could not select Inbox - it would not display that I had selected Inbox. So I selected another folder any folder and then saw that the Change Folder was updated to display the selected folder name.
Then I went back and was able to select Inbox. Now Outlook works! You will notice that on the text side all values are separated by a ". You must continue doing this when you edit the text side. Also, if you actually need a period in the path, you must still separate it from the other values with a ".
So "john. When editing the HEX value, it seems to get confused between the ". Then you will notice that starting with the 8th row of binary values, there will be a row of data ex: "55" followed by a row of "00". The "00" represents the ". Since every other character is a ". What I found is that my 00's were all 2E's. I had to change all of the 2E's to 00's. The tricky part is that if there are actually any periods in your path such as "john.
I work in a large enterprise environment - Microsoft has been telling us for years that PST files on a network drive is not supported. However, millions of people do it anyway - and it's never going to likely change - until PST files don't exist anymore! In speaking with our Corporate Microsoft rep, he said Microsoft is about to change their stance on this and will be supporting PST files on network drives in the near future.
That will help in solving some of these problems - instead of enabling MS support staff to just say "that's not supported". Davros98 solved it - thanks! It pays to look a bit deeper. I had a bit of trouble finding where he got into these settings as I was trying to do it from the Mail icon in the control panel. Step 2: Open account settings, change my folder to the temporary Out look file in step 1, close the form.
Then open the form and change my folder back. Hey David Your the only one that gave it the "KISS" factor Keep It Simple Stupid! Should of thought of it but thank you! Just thought I should register and share my solution to this little bug in Outlook Here are my 5 steps to solve this:.
Click the "Change Folder" button in the buttom panel and select ANY other folder besides your desired receiving folder usually the "Inbox" folder then click the "OK" button. Repeat step 3. Thank you so much for an easy to understand fix to a very frustrating problem, without all the waffle. Just what someone with average computer knowledge needed. Same problem win 7, office , but no way to change the folder.
Thank you, Mr. I mean Thank you very much! After trying all the preceding suggestions, nothing worked. Perhaps they might have worked if there was a delivery location stated, even a wrong one, to start with.
I was just about to succumb to recreating a couple dozen accounts when I read your post and thought it made sense having similar "tricks" work for various maladies in the past. If a connection can be made to a new location, essentially you're creating a new synapses for Outlook to travel on. Once the synapses is there, you can use it to choose, or re-choose in this case, the intended location.
If it doesn't work Before I installed Office I did a complete clean up of the XP system removed all traces of previuous email systems, all temporary files removed, cookies, history, hdd cleanup, and all references to Outlook removed including the old Outlook folders. So apart from the registry there were no references to any pst file or outlook at all. Interestingly, incoming was okay, it was outbound where the problem appeared to be - we only have one email address. From the volume of posts, seams there is a glitch alias a bug in Office ?
Any suggestions welcome, but will probably do an uninstall, clean re-install, and try the manual set-up - in the meanwhile we will continue to use webmail. I wonder if there are any registry chenges necessary to remove reference ro old PST file locations etc? Problem sorted - Cheers Mate. Select the account that is giving you issues under the "E-mail" tab. Microsoft: It's a shame! You're the best. This works. Just a bit of an addition to the instructions on 2. To see the "Deliver New Messages to Not to worry as the magic is done and your mail will work.
Crazy that Microsoft gets away with charging so much for their software and yet it is rarely plug n play. Stupid Microsoft. Wasted two hours of my life. Well, just for this issue. Some people here do not realize that and therefore post a lot of crap.
For IMAP users the solution that is posted in the beginning of the thread will not work. But the editing the registry seems to work fine. Sometimes I wished you could just delete all the spam in a thread to only keep the important infos For step 2, the "Change Folder" option is a gray button that you see on the "Email" tab, once you've highlighted the email account in question.
Note this is the "Email" tab, not the "Data Files" Tab which is where I kept trying this on at first. Follow step 3 - for me though that didn't work alone, I literally had to create a new folder for it to send mail to for the change to stick. I later moved it back to delivering to the inbox within that folder. For me the issue came because I had the audacity to move where I keep the. Thanks microsoft, this issue has only been around a year and a half unrepaired!
IMAP seems to work differently. All the talk about pointing to the old pst doesnt apply to IMAP. OUtlook stubbornly refuses to accept that you have rebuilt your profile and will insist on creating a NEW pst adding 2 on the end. I discovered something annoying. The move process as described will work provided you only move the IMAP folder to the root directory of the new drive.
If you try to move it to a subfolder even if the subfolder has no spaces in its name the problem remains. Can you put quotes around the directory name in the registry? Do we need to do something like that to get OUtlook to recognize a name with blanks in it? While moving to the root of another drive solves my space problem it is not an ideal solution and doesnt identify the underlying problem.
I'm not a "techy" by any stretch of the imagination. I backed up my computer and realized the Outlook. So I moved hte.
I tried restoring the files to the original location and that didn't solve the problem. Your solution worked like a charm!
Thank you for taking the time to post your experience and solution. It was very helpful. I think I have a fix, but please bear with my opening rant. You can't just get in and drive a Microsoft car out of the showroom, and go home. You wanted the battery hooked up? You wanted the radiator connected to the engine? You wanted to drive it via the shopping centre, so you need it to be able to take left hand turns?
Get under the bonnet, and after many hours of technical work, and experimenting with different settings in hundreds or thousands of possible combinations, you just might be able to drive to the shopping centre without it stopping unexpectedly. You may think that moving an email data file to a new location, and telling Outlook where it is would be enough. Silly you. You must also tell it that you wanted mail delivered to it!!!!
The fix is simple, but typical Micosoft. Lots of settings, no logic. Sorry about the opening rant. Shut down Outlook, and move the. I prefer my user created data on a drive separate to the OS. Putting user created data in a separate drive also speeds up and simplifies backups.
If not, make it the default. Problem fixed. Surely the software should have simply asked when you selected a. Closing rant follows. Why do we have to fight Microsoft every inch of the way to put user data where we want it? In this case we have had to go in and tell the post office we have moved from where we used to get mail. Nevertheless, the post office still sends mail to our old address. We must go to a different desk and tell them we want our mail sent to the new address.
I am just a humble old civil engineer, and from the messages in this forum, it looks as though people much smarter than I about Outlook have been flummoxed. Am I correct? I hope so, otherwise some Director should be sacked. I have this issue but slightly different. Using Outlook with Exchange where under local mail accounts in Outlook I have added two Exchange mailbox accounts with the purpose of being able to click on the From button and choose between multiple accounts to send as.
On both mailboxes on the Exchange server they have had full admin access granted to each other and send as. For the first mailbox associated with the logon account everything is fine, but for the second mailbox that was added I received this error when changing the send from send as to the second mailbox in Outlook.
What I noticed is when I only have the primary mailbox added to the account list, I can select the From button and only the primary name pops up but can select the second mailbox from the address book and it sends as the second account just fine. Also in the folder list pane the second mailbox is listed even though it is not added as a secondary mailbox or additional account in mail settings.
I do not ever recall seeing this before, I wonder if a patch did this recently. Normally in order to see the additional mailbox accounts to select under the from field, those accounts need to be added to the accounts lists which is new in Outlook but cool.
However there is a resolution. When I look under the primary account in email account settings I have the change folder button which in my case is pointing to the OST file since its in conjunction with Exchange server and offline caching is enabled. However after I start outlook the OST file for this account does get created. If I look at data files tab there are two one for each of the mailbox accounts.
However if I do not add the second account and only have the primary, if I first send an email selecting the second account from the address book. When I go back to the drop down list after clicking From button again I just noticed that the second account is cached there has an X to delete and can be easily selected.
This did not used to occur when Outlook first came from out what I recall which is why I got into the habit of adding additional accounts but it seems that when in Exchange if you "managed full access permissions" apparently any mailbox you have full admin rights to will automatically show up in your list.
After the transfer completed, I opened Outlook and it did some sort of check or update on the pst file. Waited until it finished.
I had followed your steps, however, after I did the "Step 4. Although I am able to receive mail, but I still received this error report.
I am having a very similar problem to this but your fix wont work and I am knock my head against the wall. An Object could not be found". Its the usual useful MS message and tells you nothing.
I have two email accounts POP running in outlook I am using Mcaffee and interestingly the system was operating fine until about a week ago when I had a random lockup on outlook.
This also coincided with my Mcaffeee subscription coming to an end not sure if related. Anyway is it sending and recieving find on one account and on the other account it produces the message everytime I send and receive but the mail still seems to go ok. Any help appreciated. All my incomming messages are ok, delivered to each mail box inbox Deleting and creating the new account Manually was only solution for me. Upon trying to restore the delivery location and choosing Inbox, outlook would not change the location, it would stay blank.
My simple workaround was to choose a subfolder within inbox, outlook would accept that, and after wards i was able to go back again and modity the delivery to inbox once agian. I moved the PSTs to a network drive and 2 out of 3 email accounts stoped working giving the ". Outlook data file cannot be accessed error F " error message. All was good before that. I moved my pst file from a download folder to the proper folder after having set up Outlook The only solution that worked for me was to remove my current account profile and then recreate it.
If you have something in your outbox, it will not go and you will not get errors. You must delete those items in your outbox and resend them. It was produced when I renamed the. Despite I reference the new file address in Outlook, when it restart, did not recognize file. Then I rename again file to the last name and problem was resolved. It was no necesary restart computer, just Outlook.
If Davros98's solution doesn't work for you, because you don't have the option to change the folder in the account settings, and editing the registry in hexadecimal code VONAH feels too desperate, try this blog:.
Unfortunately, it means you'll have to recreate all your accounts from scratch, but at least they will work and they will be in the place you want them. I can't believe after so many iterations Outlook still extracts so much blood, sweat, tears and money from unsuspecting customers! U can make only one new PST for more acc. Then go to another acc. Seems that somewhere in Application Data Outlook save path and only way to change to new location is to create new so he can rewrite his data and than back to your old.
Having problem during sending or receiving emails in Outlook, or error found " Outlook Data file cannot be accessed". Please visit to know more about it :. I repeat: Do NOT move it. If you want it located somewhere else and are currently using an old imap pst: 1.
Open Outlook. Open Inbox or subscribed folder with any new msgs inside the imap account let it sync. Open Outlook or CP 'Mail'.
Remove same imap account from above. Doesn't matter which. Though it shouldn't be needed if new pst has a different name. It's now working for me now using 5 different imap accounts. Had to recreate them all using above method. Recreate them. Other methods suggested above such as simply selecting "change folder" then "inbox" did not work for me; but your method from 40APM Studios, posted Saturday, April 27, AM "change folder", "new folder", make temporary folder, once you see e-mail downloading to the temporary folder select "change folder" again, then reselect "inbox" worked perfectly.
I have 7 e-mail accounts, so your method saved me a lot of time compared to re-creating all 7 accounts ; thanks again! I also have about 6 email accounts and did want to establish a new profile and enter all 6 email accounts from the start. Your comments saved a tremendous amount of time. I'm having the same problem as others on this thread. I have six IMAP accounts. All work except one which gives the 0XF error when I try to send email with it.
When I try the following:. On the E-mail tab there is a "Change I've included a screen shot, below. On the "Data Files" tab I can select an email account and choose "Settings," but that dialog only displays the pst file's name and location but doesn't allow me to edit it. Am I overlooking something? Where are people seeing the "Change Folder" command? I had the same "Outlook data file cannot be accessed error F " issue but with a twist I haven't seen in thread yet.
I tried every fix presented thus far but none worked. The twist was that when I tried to create a new profile and tell it to use an existing data file the Browse button, which was NOT greyed out, produced no result so I couldn't browse to my existing data file and select it. As well, if I told it to use a new data file I would get an error and it would fail. In short, I couldn't create a new profile The solution for me was to create a new profile and select the "Use existing data file" radio button but since the Browse button did nothing I manually typed in the path to the data file and shazam, it worked.
Not sure I've seen mention of the Browse button not working or the inability to create a new profile mentioned but if you're running into that give the above a try Thank you. This was exactly the problem. I would suggest as a general approach i. Click on Change folder. Choose that. Note - you may have to do this also for Rules and Alerts. If the rule references a folder, you may have to navigate to that folder even if it looks to have been set right.
Close this setting option. That way my problem was solved in outlook , m using xp. I tried to change location, selecting the same folder it showed on the navigation panel - the one which had all my previous e-mails, but to no avail.
So I selected the create new folder, accepted the Default name, saved it, and then changed location once more, selecting again the correct location, and now it did work. I had a similar problem - wasn't sticking when I clicked on location. This is on Outlook When I saw your solution - I thought "Great! Do not bother with the profiles.
I have several email accounts and separate pst files. These messages do not just hamper the work, but they may also lead to permanent data loss if not corrected properly.
