In this short journal, I am not going to include every aspect of the error. What you are going to see is how I got the error and how I fixed it. Also, I have included some possible situations that this method can be applied to.
How did this error happened to my computer?
I was using Windows XP, SP3 with MS Office 2003. MS Outlook was still working perfectly with ablity to display calendar on desktop (Outlook on the Desktop), retrieve and send e-mails from Yahoo account (YPOPS!), and synnchronize calendar with Google account (Google calendar Sync). I noticed that Scheduled tasks did not work, which was very important to me, so I decided to repair my OS. The moment the reparation completed, MS Outlook poppep up this annoying message box ("Unable to open your default e-mail folder") and close itself.How I fixed it?
I googled the message and came across a ton of result, but none of the solution can be applied. Most of them, including one from Microsoft, had something to do with MS Exchange Server, which I even had no idea about. I guessed I got to deal with the problem myselft.- Open Control Panel and run 'Email' applet
- Click 'Show Profiles' and remove the current profile (you will lose all your e-mail accounts when you do this)
- Add new profile, use 'Properties', then 'Data files' to restore e-mails and 'Email Accounts' to set up the accounts again.
- Close the little windows, now MS Outlook should be able to work.
I backed up my repaired system and all the emails in Outlook, then started to mess with MS Outlook by uninstall MS Office system, then run a Registry Scan to remove any reference to the keywork 'Outlook'. In addition, I also did an advanced search for the term 'Outlook' on my computer and delete any files or folders that appeared. To my surprise, the same stupid messgage kept popping up when I reinstall MS Office.
It took me a day before I came across the solution. Here is what I did:
This problem can happen to any Windows system or any Office system after a repairing installation. What I did was properly to remove the account setting, so MS Outlook can be revived.
