Hi all,

 

I've done a clean install on my main laptop to move it from Win10 32bit to 64bit (in order to make use of the extra 4GB RAM I just stuck in it).

 

I've got it all working and Office is reinstalled. However Outlook is driving me potty and I've got a hangover.

 

I have imported the pst file from the previous installation and that is visible in Outlook but doesn't send/receive any mail and doesn't have a connection to an actual email account in Outlook.

 

I created a new account and manually entered all the server settings to connect with my isp - but now I've got two outlook mail files; one which is an archive of all my stuff up to the other day, and a new box which all new mail is going into.

 

I'm clearly having a "thick" day as I can't seem to work out how to merge the two, so there's just one place containing all my mail past and present.

 

Help please?

You need to change your mailbox settings to use the old PST file as your main one.
