OST files are at %localappdata%\microsoft\outlook - but only if there is an IMAP account in classic outlook.

Those pics are from the new Outlook app, not classic outlook. Do you want to use new Outlook or classic? If you have office 2024 (or older) you have classic but it doesn't qualify as a license for new outlook.

You're welcome!

it looks like the those PST were imported into the sbc account. If that is a pop account, the mail wasn't synced to the server. If you have another recent PST for the sbc account, you could replace this with it.

To get the remove from all devices message, you need to add it to one of the new Outlook apps and then remove it. If you are not asked if you want to remove from all, they are removed from all.

Removing the IMAP accounts from Outlook won't affect the POP version on the other computer. Are you using the Yahoo app on the phone? That is not related to Outlook - and is likely showing the account because you added it to it or signed into the app using your address. You can turn them off...

Yes. Replace the outdated PST with the one that is current... that will get you sent mail too. Although, if you leave mail on the server, you can keep the old PST and it should download all the mail since it last downloaded mail. But that is inbox only, not mail you sent from the laptop. If...

The account is added as pop? Is it a different mailbox or both aliases on one mailbox? If the PST is all new mail, you can delete it and create a new pst. Or just remove the account and use the PST for the sbc account too. You can rename the display name.

If the G drive is external, you need to remove the PST from outlook, move them to the hard drive then add them back. Opening PST from an external drive invites corruption.

For the drive error: #1: don't import PST files. Move to the hard drive and open them directly in outlook. #2: to sounds like the PST is in the profile but not accessible. If Outlook won't open, open control panel, find Mail and edit the profile to remove it. If Outlook will open, go to File >...

On the first question: are you using the reading pane? If the message list is wide, you'll see the fields If the message list is narrow, you get the compact view.

COM add-ins are a lot more powerful, but not really for a beginner at VBA. (I haven't done an add-in is probably 20 years.) I'm trying to think of a good - and fast - way to make a macro work. It could scan all folders and only copy messages since the last run but Outlook can't run macros...

If everything is in the inbox, it's fairly easy to watch the inbox and copy. But if the messages are being moved to other folders, it can be a lot of folders to watch. The more you watch, the slower it works and could miss things - it would be better to use a COM add-in at that point, especially...

For this macro - you select the text you want to copy, then run the macro. Result is in the second screenshot. This code is a version of these macros on this page - the instructions to set the references to Word are at the end of the article. Create Task or Appointment and Insert...
