Outlook 2003 send/receive permission in Vista

Question

I just recently upgraded my M1210 to Vista home premium (clean install) and reloaded Office Pro. I imported my personal folder.pst without problem and can view the files ok. I confirmed that the email accounts were set up properly and they do send out a test message ok. However, when I hit the send/receive button, I get a message that I don't have the 'appropriate permission' to do that.   I've checked file properties on my folders to make sure that I have the security permission and I am the administrator. I'm at a loss here.   Any help out there?   Thanks Chris M Message Edited by pcmasten on 04-15-2007 01:09 PM

Importing your pst file is a bad idea. It corrupts the file in many cases. You should copy the file to the hard drive and use File, Open Outlook Data File on the menu to open it.

I never had a problem importing .pst file and I do it all the time.

NEVER, import a .pst file.  Just point the data file locator to where the existing .pst file is.  Simple.

Thanks for responding. I resolved this issue by a clean re-installing of Vista and the Office pro. So far, I just downloaded my mail and let it go at that. So I start relatively new, but at least it works now.   Thanks for the help. I appreciate it. Chris M
