Hi, currently have the final Windows 7 on two machines and Office 2007. My outlook works great on one machine and cannot connect with the pop3 or smtp servers on the other. They are setup identically. I tried a repair and Outlook said it could not connect with either. Tried this on both of my email accounts on different providers (Yahoo and XO). Again, works fine on one machine but not on the other. I have my data (pst) files on an external 500GB drive that I use between different machines.

Any clues.

Are you trying to share this same PST file between both machines?

If so, does the PST file open OK, on the second machine when the other machine does NOT have the PST file open?

Yes, using the same PST file and have had no problems for nearly a year. Just this migration to Win 7. The other Outlook does recognize the files and I can see all of my emails but it will not accept account settings which are stored on each machine. The PST does not have the account settings to the best of my knowledge.

Also tried an Office repair but no luck. I can only have outlook open on the machine that has the drive containing the pst file, as is the norm I suppose. It was easier this way as I use many machines and travel quite a bit.
