Go to control panel, mail and make a new profile - use your real mail
account info and set outlook to leave mail on the server. If you have more

if it works, close outlook and go back to control panel, mail and add the
old pst to the profile, setting it as the default. Restart outlook. Does it
still work? If not, something in the pst is bad.
