    @ Steve,

    Glad it worked! Be sure to put on your del.icio.us bookmarks and Digg it so that others can find it more quickly.

    My Outlook 2007 would no longer provide any search results from a folder nor multiple PST's. Rebuilt the index and performed the OFFICE DIAGNOSTICS which found nothing wrong. Only creating a new profile fixed the search results problem. Thanks for the help.

    Interestingly, all I had to do was create the new profile. Use it once, then revert to the original profile and the original now works perfectly. Thanks very much for the help. (I didn't need to continue using the new profile at all).

    Excellent! I have been frustrated for the last week, my outlook was retrieving my mail but was not displaying the unread messages, creating a new profile sorted it out straight away, a thousand thank you's

    For solve similar problems and also problems with outlook files advise use-restore .ost,it has many features and as far as i know is free,program can open this file, analyze it and recover your data from this file with *.ost extension, if it is possible,tool can process even corrupted *.ost files,restore ost file to Outlook 2003 and export all data into *.pst format, that is easily opened with any email client, compatible with Microsoft Outlook,also extract a list of files in *.eml, *.txt and *.vcf formats, that will be placed into some folder upon your choice.

    Be sure to read through some of the comments. There are other pieces of software that can supposedly fix issues that may not be related to profile corruption.

    Hey
    Having just reinputted everything after hard drive failure - this Outlook issue was very very annoying, especially when a lot of the forums were telling me it was either a recent Windows Update or a Norton issue. Your simple solution worked for me - built new profile and received one email, then reverted back to the old profile. Works now! Fantastic - thank-you

    It worked without actually using the new profile--just setting it up forced updates to several Outlook-related configuration files and that did the trick. Prior to temporarily creating a new profile, Outlook 2007 crashed whenever it tried to preview any complex html email.
