E-mail that "downloads" but doesn't

I added a second hard drive to my computer and mirrored everything from
the first one to the second. I now work off of the second hard drive
where my Outlook folder is stored. I realized that after I made the
move, I am now unable to receive my e-mail.

For whatever reason, I can see my e-mail downloading in the status box
that pops up. It shows that it is downloading 10 out of 100 e-mails,
etc. However, the new mail does not appear in my inbox. I have taken a
look at the *.pst files on my first hard drive and the second, and they
are exactly the same size, despite supposedly downloading at least 10MB
worth of e-mail.

I can send test e-mails to myself and it will show up in my Sent
folder. However, the mail does not show up in my inbox.

Does anyone have an idea of what is happening and what I can do to fix
it? I've tried creating a new *.pst file and I still get the same
problem. Many thanks.

I'd start by creating a new mail profile and pointing it at the PST you wish
to use.
