I'm probably missing something.



I have a data file in the account settings for the current gmail account with it's own location. on the "C:" drive with all it's own stuff. Works fine.


I also have one for personal folder "p:\outlook.pst" thats for my existing outlook folder. It ALSO looks fine and works OK.


And last, I have the personal folder "D:\outlook.pst" that is visible in the data files but I can't use for anything.


If I was going to use data file "D:\outlook.pst" that doesn't work, why wouldn't I just put the outlook.pst file into the SAME D:\outlook.pst file outlook wants me to use? Add a disk, create a partition, call it "d", copy the file named outlook.pst to the "D" partition, and let Outlook find it?


It's exactly the same as the OLD outlook file was, and when I start it up Outlook SAYS should try to wants to find "D:\outlook.pst" and use it.


I'm not trying to create anything, just letting Outlook use the EXISTING physical hard drive it used BEFORE so it can finish whatever it started. THEN hopefully it'll let me CLOSE the "D:\outlook.pst" hard drive, and CLOSE the existing personal personal folder, and I can close the
"D:\outlook.outlook.pst" and delete it...


OR, is there some big, ugly mess this is going to cause?
