Here's where I got to:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Close Outlook
Outlook is closed
Control Panel -> Mail
[Show Profiles ...]
- Select your existing Outlook profile
[Copy ...]
New Profile Name: TEST 2025-03-25
- Select the TEST profile
[Properties ...]

[OK] and [Cancel] to get to the next window

I don’t know what the above line was supposed to have me do, but I continued.

IF I’m correct, I’m now looking at the “Mail” screen that says “The following profiles are set up on this computer”.
I have one profile Named “Outlook” that always seems to be around, and another that says “3-26-25 TEST PROFILE” that I just created.
With “3-26-25 TEST PROFILE” selected, press [Properties].
I now get a screen that says “Email setup – 3-26-25 TEST PROFILE”
I have three choices – “Email Accounts”, “Data Files” and close. If I CLOSE I can’t get to the “Data Files”. Not sure what I should be pressing [OK] and [Cancel] on.
At this point I selected [Data Files] and Outlook failed. I got the message
“THE PATH SPECIFIED FOR THE FILE D:\OUTLOOK.PST IS NOT VALID”
Pressing Return displays the same “Create/Open Outlook Data File” screen I always see where it’s trying to find “Outlook pst”
There’s now a mail setup for “Email setup – 3-26-25 TEST PROFILE”, but I can’t do anything else.
