    Importing PST into IMAP account

    Good morning. I recently changed all my email accounts in Outlook 365 from POP (all emails were associated with my one Outlook.pst file) to IMAP, where each email account has its own OST file. I left my calendar and contacts in the outlook.pst file, which has ONLY the calendar and contacts, but...

    Use Macro to change account settings

    I have an email account on my provider's email server whose USERID is custom@[mydomain].com. In Outlook 365, I have this account set up to send only - not receive. I use this because when doing business with a new website (newsite.com) I use newsite@[mydomain].com as my email address. When the...

    Cannot open this item becasue another workstation has modified it.

    Ms. Poremsky, I've been a fan of yours for years. Great diagnosis. Indeed, I was having this error message pop up only after setting up iCloud sync (iCloud add-in!) so that my iPhone calendar and tasks would sync with Outlook 2013. Do you know if there is a "fix" for this, or this just an...

    The file c:\...\Outlook1.pst cannot be accessed because another workstation has modified it. Close a

    The "other workstation" that has modified your pst file is likely another web service with which you are syncing. For example, I ran Outlook 2013 for years without this error message, but as soon as I decided to start syncing my calendar and/or tasks with iCloud, I periodically get this error...
