Vista - Vista64 / Outlook 2007 -- "Cannot open your default e-mail folders."

When I first load up Outlook 2007 in Vista64, I get a popup saying

"Cannot open your default e-mail folders. outlook cannot start because a data file to send and receive mail cannot be found. To add a data file, such as a personal folder file, double-click the Mail icon in Windows Control Panel."


There is no mail icon in the control panel. Any ideas how to fix this? I've uninstalled/reinstalled, same popup. When I click ok, outlook 2007 closes.

"I was able to research the problem and found out that it is from a bad or corrupt profile. Not that that matters, but you need to create a new profile and it can be done by going to start, run and type in the following command.
outlook.exe /promptimportprf \\localfolder\outlook.prf
Answer yes to the prompt and reestablish your parameters for email again. I did this and it fixed the problem immediately!"

Were you connected to an Exchange server? An .ost file is an offline
file used with Exchange. You may need to connect to Exchange with your
new profile and then sync a new offline file.
