delete your pst file by accident? that error usually shows up for me when one of my users deletes the pst file. i always tell them, don't f$#k with stuff you dont' know.

not that you did that. but i don't know.

do you mean you can't click any buttons in outlook? or you can't do anything like sending and receiving? or you can't do anything bc outlook closes on you? or what?

If the user did so, I am not aware, but if no pst have been deleted what is the solution and if pst have been deleted what is the solution?

If it is the first time you are running outlook on this PC/laptop then do the following.

Go to control panel
Open up 'Mail'
Create a new profile and complete the configuration of profile (from where you will be reading the messages).
It should open the OL using the newly created profile.
Once in OL, you can import the messages.
