I'm upgrading a Win7 PC from a 128GB SSD to a 500GB SSD, both Samsung. I cloned the drive and installed the new drive. It booted fine and all files and software work fine except Outlook (Office 365) which seems to have forgotten my accounts. The .pst file copied over and Outlook is pointed to it. I used Samsung's clone software that came with the new drive. Any ideas?

Thanks!
 
To be honest. the easiest way to fix it is to probably delete each mail account, then create a new one with the same name and settings, pointing to the new location for the data file.

Before that, you might try FILE>OPEN and open your PST file from the new location. If you are lucky, that will fix things. I had to delete and create new Mail accounts to get it sorted out. Outlook doesn't move files gracefully.
