Microsoft Office 2019 will only work on Windows 10 Sorry, 8.1 users, only 4 years old, gotta go. Help me understand this hot mess of outlook 2019 (backup/restoration) Sigh.Īnyhow, sorry for the book - i wanted to be thorough in case anyone happens to understand this specific circumstance. The hot mess visual studio creates, outlooks convolution.

Microsoft does a lot of great things, but it seems pretty terrible at UE stuff.
#Backup outlook account settings how to
i really need to understand/fix 2 things.ġ) how to take everything, my profile, my email boxes, the emails configured therein, and the settings - over to another pc.Ģ) (current priority) how to fix the whole "an unknown error occurred 0x80040605" when clicking on each of the emails.osts (and if it has anything to do with having the local data file separate)įor now, im off to run a restore of my system drive. It was attempting to lump all the emails under the "this computer only" folder, and left me with no email accounts added to outlook.Īt this point i removed the this computer only.pst and re added all my original.ost and the original this computer only.pst back to the local\microsoft\outlook folder but i opened outlook, and still no email accounts re-added, so that data seems to be saved in yet ANOTHER location.īetween all the various providers force you to configure whether it be sign in settings, root folders, subscribed folders etc. pst's, and it would put things back, however it did not. I removed each email account from outlook assuming i could re-import the backups i made of the. Ive tried deleting the "AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\This Computer Only.pst" which it recreates and seems to have 0 effect.

Ive used outlook to export each mailbox (and the "this computer only" data file) however it only allows you to export as.

I'm unsure if its related to my issues now or not.Įither way, at current - I've done some experimenting with copies of the various folders and a full backup of windows im forced to restore to get it back to working at least, after this post is made.

This has served its purpose exactly as intended since I dont use local only anyways. I had done some transitioning between primary email accounts and I not only wanted to keep that untethered from a specific email that I may or may no longer use, but i also wanted to keep all the associated folders it comes with "rss feeds, tasks, local only calendars" etc from being lumped in with the current associated email address. I had created this some time ago in an effort to separate the local data, from all the email accounts. I also have one errant file called "this computer only.pst" If i look there, I have a bunch of files named myemail - my profile.ost. The location of said files also changed to appdata\local\microsoft\outlook. A bit of googling seems to indicate this is because for IMAP accounts (which i use exclusively) transitioned from using. pst files named after all my emails, but it looks like they havent been modified in quite some time. I have an "Outlook Files" folder in My documents which has some. Over the years ive ran outlook 2013/2016/2019 and so the hodgepodge of a mess thats been created im struggling to put together. I assumed this was problematic so i first wanted to find a way to make it right. Each returned "an unknown error occurred 0x80040605" and thus my saga began. By chance I was looking at my account settings > data files and clicked on a few of my emailname.ost files.

So it begins with the desire to have basically a "mirror" of my entire outlook install on a second pc, but I havent even GOTTEN to that point yet.
