remove mail profile when Outlook wont open

The server address for our exchange server changed, but then you cant open Outlook on client computer.   To edit or remove bad profile:

Remove a profile

Applies To: Outlook 2010

A profile consists of accounts, data files, and settings that specify where your email messages are saved.

1. Exit Outlook.
2. In Control Panel, click or double-click Mail.
   Where is Mail in Control Panel?
   Mail appears in different Control Panel locations depending on the version of the Microsoft Windows operating system, Control Panel view selected, and whether a 32- or 64-bit operating system or version of Outlook 2010 is installed.
   The easiest way to locate Mail is to open Control Panel in Windows, and then in the Search box at the top of window, type Mail. In Control Panel for Windows XP, type Mail in the Address box.
   NOTE:  The Mail icon appears after Outlook starts for the first time.
   The title bar of the Mail Setup dialog box contains the name of the current profile. To select a different existing profile, click Show Profiles, select the profile name, and then click Properties.
3. Click Show Profiles.
4. Select a profile.
5. Click Remove.

NOTE:  Removing an email profile doesn’t remove your Outlook Data Files (.pst), so no data is lost.

Exporting Outlook contacts

You can export contacts to a file that can then be imported into other applications, such as Web mail clients, Excel spreadsheets, or database applications.
The most common export file format is a comma separated value (CSV) file. If you are exporting contacts for use in another copy of Outlook, we recommend that you choose an Outlook Data File (.pst) in step 6 below.

1. Click the File tab.
   
2. Click Options.
   
3. Click Advanced.
   

1. Under Export, click Export.
   

Outlook autocomplete file (.nk2)

Have a patron getting new computer, want to move autocomplete file (thing that gives you email address after 2-3 letters) to different PC:  (Windows Windows 7 and Vista)


On your old computer:

• Go to drive:\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook.
  

1. Right-click profile name.nk2, and then click Copy.
   
   
2. On the computer where you want to populate the AutoComplete list:
   
   • Windows 7 and Windows Vista     Right-click anywhere in drive:\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook and then click Paste to save profile name.nk2.
     
3. If the Outlook user profile name is different on the computer where you are moving the .nk2 file, you must rename the file with the Outlook user profile name that is being used on the new computer, after you copy the file to the correct folder. For example, if you move Kim Akers.nk2 from the original computer with an Outlook user profile name of Kim Akers, and you copy the Kim Akers.nk2 file to the new computer, you must rename the file with the Outlook profile name that is being used on the new computer.
   
4. When prompted about replacing the existing file, click Yes.
   
5. Open Outlook to view the changes to the AutoComplete list.
