    Outlook 2007 - How to copy/export Junk email settings when creating a new profile?

    I'm having trouble with my install of Outlook 2007. Email will not send. As part of the troubleshooting I created a new Outlook profile which so far seems to NOT have resolved the issue. I copied the .Nk2 file (nick cache) & will attach the existing .pst file once I know that the issue is resolved.

    I had previously added a bunch of senders to my "Safe" list, so emails from these senders will not be tagged as junk mail & moved to the Junk Email folder. Where are these settings stored? I want to import or copy them to the new Outlook profile.

    My environment
    Outlook 2007 sp2 (fully updated) on Vista Ultimate sp2 (fully updated) behind a Linksys WRT54G router with the latest Linksys firmware. Email is standard POP3 email from an ISP on port 25. Not an Exchange environment.

    Thanks in advance.

    EDIT - Creating the new Outlook profile did NOT resolve my mail sending issue. The first test email did send, but subsequent emails were NOT sent & just sit in my Outbox, just as has happened in my original profile.

    As before I get the error;
    Sending reported error (0x80070057) could not complete operation. One or more parameter values are not valid.
    I have not made any changes to my mail settings, other than creating a second (new) Outlook profile & they are correct.

    Appreciate the links!

    I'm still unable to send mail however. I don't know what's going on. I can receive, but not send.

    It should be in the profile setup:

    c:/documents and settings / (username / application data (hidden) / microsoft / outlook /
    or

    c:/documents and settings / (username / local settings (hidden) / application data / microsoft / outlook /

    .PST are personal email folders
    .OST is the "cached" emails from the server
    .WAB and .PAB are address files
    .FAV are favorites

    That leaves .NK2, .SRS, .DAT, .XML

    As for sending - you say the first is sent OK, are you sure (did you confirm that it was received?) - I've had to re-create my email accounts in Outlook whenever I upgraded or reloaded Outlook (PITA, I know). Maybe if you copy all the contents from the first folder I mentioned from the old version to the new version (if you reloaded the OS or something)?
