mail profile message
I tried a beta version of Outllok 2010 for a week and then deleted it. Now I get the following screen message whenever I open Outlook 2007: "The mail profile in Outlook was created with a newer version of Outlook and might contain information that is not compatible with your current Outlook version. If you experience problems with this profile, you can create a new profile. In Windows Control Panel, open Mail, then click Show Profiles, and then click Add." The only profile I can see reads "Outlook." What can I do to make this message disappear each time I open my Outlook 2007?

Copy ur OL personal folders, i.e. .pst files that contain all data. Its name is usually ur email add…., though it may have a different name. So for safe side select all of the personal folders files and copy them to save them in another place like CD / USB or any other drive in ur comp. Now as u wrote, u accessed upto ‘Show Profile’ > Outlook…. and simply delete it by pressing remove button (don’t worry). Now open OL, & it asks for creating a new profile. Type any suitable name & click ok. Again fill up the box as u did earlier (email a/c info). It tries to configure the account settings. Click finish (if it shows any error, don’t worry go ahead). Now it will set messages from ur email accounts. Now close the OL. Here go to CP > mail > click data files and click add…. Now select office outlook personal….(.pst) & clickOK. Now select the old OL data file i.e. locate to the backup copy which u saved earlier. Press ok at the next dialog box to accept the default settings and select the data file that u just imported, and make it set as default and again click ok. Restart OL. Hope, it will get rid this annoying message.
Again remembering U, please take all necessary backups related to OUTLOOK before doing this excercise. If there is any typing mistake, please take care urself.
