    Win 10/Outlook 2010 issue.  I have an orphaned account that tries to connect to my email server but can't.  The account is not listed in account settings.  If I delete the associated .pst outlook won't open.  If I open the profile editor (via Control Panel; not Settings) it lists the account but I can't delete it because its checked as default and I can't transfer default to another account.  The orphaned account is not default in the Outlook Account list.  Any ideas?

    Hi,

    You may consider to create a new Outlook mail profile, configure your email accounts in the new mail profile, and then delete the profile that contains the orphaned account.

    If I've misunderstood something, please feel free to let me know.
