How to Solve Outlook Error “The data file was not closed properly”.

Go back to Tools, Account Settings, Data files tab. Decide which data file you want to keep using. I’d keep the old one unless it was created in an older version of Outlook.

On the Email tab, select the account then Change Folders button. Make sure the account is delivered to the desired folder. Go back to the data files tab and select the other pst file – note the file path and pst name then click Remove. You want to import a pst -select the pst file you Removed from the profile and complete the wizard. Thank you for your reply.

What I am trying to do is the following: I am trying to move an Outlook personal file folder from one file to another Outlook personal file folder. I a ccidently went to the account settings in Outlook under the tools tab.

I then, selected new file and set up a new personal file folder for my e-mail. Now I need to move the old personal file to the newly created folder and all of the methods I know are not working to solve this problem. All of my new e-mail is going to this newly created personal file folder and therefore I cannot move the e-mails into my previously created subfiles under the Inbox folder in the personal file folder. This is the process I tried to explain earlier in my question, but did not explain it correctly.

You will now see my predicament. I would appreciate it greatly if you could help me in my situation as I have explained it now. Thank you,. Glenn B. Green, MBA. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro? Sign in.
