Hello.

I had to uninstall Outlook 365 (for financial reasons) and reinstall Outlook 2010, and somehow I have ended up with two PST files.

My account is an IMAP one.

The top one in the list (C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Outlook Files\Outlook.pst) is inactive, but it is the default PST.

The second one (C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\terry@DOMAIN-NAME.com.pst) is where all my active files live and breathe.

I cannot change the default from the inactive PST to the active PST (the option is greyed out) and I cannot delete the default PST.

I wish to stick with Outlook 2010 if possible, but the inactive PST is irritating.

Any clue as to how I can resolve this?
 
That is how it works in outlook 2010 - the extra pst is for calendar, contacts, tasks. Outlook 2013 is the first version that did not require a separate pst for calendar & contacts with imap accounts.
