Fixing the synch problems fixed my issue. Thanks again, Sinto!

Dear friends, Some of you may recall this lengthy thread about changing Outlook from IMAP to POP3. Help me change Outlook from IMAP to POP Now I'm facing a new problem that's at least peripherally related. My Office 365 license ran out. At that time, the small red X appeared on certain...

Likewise, my friend. A great pleasure, and very helpful as well. If anybody else has similar problems and has read this far, Let me point out that the process you set out in post #64 is the key to getting the problem resolved.

I got through the cleaning up of the inbox. It doesn't let me delete Junk Email1 or Journal. There are also some folders that only show up if I click the > sign by "Inbox." I deleted unused folders there, too. So now it looks like this: And now I must walk the dog before proceeding further.

At first, I thought I might do the cleaning up of the old PST tonight, but as I read all the other instructions, it struck me that maybe it would be better to wait until after I sleep. We're taking care of our daughter's dog while she is traveling for work. Last night, we had a bad...

There are two in that folder. I've added them more recently.

I can try this. I am working with the earliest PST I have, though, so I suspect the later ones will also have "This computer only" folders. Also, all my "Contacts" exist only in the "This computer only" contacts folder. Will it work to just more that whole folder down to a new PST?

If this works, it shouldn't be too terribly cumbersome. If it doesn't work, your suggestion can be "Plan B." BTW, you don't seem like the "shouting in meetings" type.

I've gotten a start with this. I created a brand new PST, and then opened it in Outlook below the PST we've all been banging our heads on. I've started the process of keeping the folders I need: 1. In the new PST, I created a folder called "Inbox." 2. Inside Inbox of the new PST, I created a...

I went through this process. During the execution, it made a text file with 3,467 rows. Here are the last few rows: Failed to add row to the FLT, irow = 612, RowID = 29D524 Failed to add row to the FLT, irow = 607, RowID = 29D484 Failed to add row to the FLT, irow = 565...

Thanks, Denis, and Antspants. I'll start work on this about 12 hours from now. At this moment I can barely keep my eyes open, and tomorrow my schedule is full until after lunch. One quick question, though. I assume there's no point in saving a new PST while things are so messed up. Is that...

I watched the Youtube video and started poking around the view options. The very first thing I tried was quite telling. When I clicked "View," then "Change view," the first thing I saw was a button called "IMAP Messages." And when I clicked that, all my messages showed up just as I always...

Thanks for taking care of me. I should have been more careful. There are no OST files in the AppData folder. It took me a minute or 2 to find the folder. I had to tell Windows to show the hidden folders. I normally don't frequent those locations. After my wife goes to sleep, I will walk...

Thanks for taking care of me. I should have been more careful. There are no OST files in the AppData folder. After my wife goes to bed, I'm going to walk through the whole process again. Infact, I'll probably do it with more than one of the old PST files.

Here's the Folders view: You can see I deleted all the synch stuff. Note that for the calendar and contacts, there are two and one is labeled "This computer only." That makes me think I never really got rid of the previous file. FYI, the Contacts folder for "This computer only" has all my...
