Remove work email from onedrive messed up work email

jmsnyc · 06 Jul 2017

I created a personal Onedrive account and used my work email address years ago. I had it synced to onedrive on my work laptop. As our work computers are going to be locked down , I changed the onedrive account email address to a personal gmail address. I no longer wish or need to sync the onedrive with my work pc, as it will no longer be possible in the near future due to corporate security

On my work pc I use Outlook . In Windows 10 Mail on my work pc, I noticed my personal gmail was listed as an email account. I removed it. Now my work email will not work because the data file is gone.

So even though I changed onedrive email , it made matters worse because now it seems like my personal gmail and my work email are somehow tied together

Hi jmsync. I do and don't understand all the things you've done but I have a couple of questions.

You said you use Outlook for your work mail. I assume this Outlook 2013 or 2016, correct?

When you used Outlook 201x to get mail from your company server was this a company domain, like @CompanyABC.com?

When you connected what protocol did you use POP or iMap?

If POP I assume you had a personal pst and I think you synced it through Onedrive, any of this correct?
