I have Dell XPS 8700 with Windows 8.1 and Office 2010 installed. I use Outlook 2010 for mail and Comcast is my ISP. I have Outlook set up to keep all messages on server.
I am planning to move to a SSD soon. I want to make the size of my C: smaller so I can move program files there and have data on HDD.
I moved the Docs. and downloads from C; to two separate partitions, one on same HDD as C; and one that is on another drive.
I did not know that moving these files would also move my Outlook .pst files until next day. I went to Outlook the next day [today]and can’t find current data for Outlook.
I was able to find a .pst file and I moved it to the Outlook window. No email newer than 8/4 shows up.
I went into Account settings and looked to see if setting were the same. They seem to be. I went into ‘change’ to look, while there I sent test message.
The test message has not shown up. I went to send/ Receive and click on Send/receive all folders. Nothing happened. no email downloaded.
I went to Comcast webmail and sent email to myself, it is not there either.
I stopped to call for help before I mess anything up worse. At this point, I would be happy to move docs and downloads back onto the C; and wait and do new install on SSD when I get it and not worry yet about the space. Anyone have any ideas for fixing this.
Thanks for any help.
