Create a new Mail Profile on Outlook.
Creating a new Mail Profile will prevent any loss of data from your previous email accounts stored on your local computer. When migrating over to Perth Web Hosting, we always encourage users to first keep a backup copy of their old data (emails) by exporting it to a .PST file. We also encourage users to keep their old Mail Profile, in case they need to refer back to it in the future.
