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 ...]
- You will receive the same message that you get while opening outlook
[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.
[Data Files ...]
- Select the deleted Outlook data file
[Remove]
[Close]

- You are back at the Control Panel Mail main window
(o) Prompt for a profile to be used
[OK]

Start Outlook
Use the TEST Profile
Look around to ensure that all your data is there.
Make sure your can Send/Receive emals.
Close Outlook
