Resolving Access Denied Error Configuring PST as Delivery Location

The primary Outlook data file (.pst file) used to receive incoming e-mail messages is termed as default delivery location. To use an existing PST as delivery location, it requires you to access E-mail accounts settings, use 'Deliver new e-mail to the following location' option, and select the desired PST file for e-mail delivery. Doing so can sometimes result in errors that might prevent you from performing this setup. This can occur if PST is either read-only or corrupt. In latter case, you need an appropriate Outlook Repair solution.

Supporting the above fact, following is a possible instance that can happen to any Outlook users. Consider an Outlook PST stored on a network drive. When an Outlook user tries to access it and set it as delivery location, the operation cannot be completed. In addition, the user receives an error:

Microsoft Outlook:
File access is denied. You do not have permission required to access the file file_path.

On attempting to access the file directly on server drive results in same error message.

Cause

Two possible reasons for the issue to occur are:

1)Outlook PST is read-only
2)Outlook PST is corrupted. It might have occurred due to network sharing. Microsoft doesn't support PST file sharing on any network link.

Solution

The resolutions for the above the problem are:

1)Uncheck the read-only attribute of PST file. For this, right-click the file, click 'Properties', and clear the associated option.
2)Move the PST to a local computer and run Outlook Inbox Repair Tool (Scanpst.exe) to repair the file. Make sure that the view of hidden and system files is enabled before you try locating the 'Scanpst.exe' file.

If running Inbox Repair Tool doesn't work, you can delete the corrupted file, provided a good backup is available. In case, no suitable backup is present, a PST File Repair utility can help. Designed with advanced technology to scan corrupted PST file, these are perfect Outlook Repair solutions that can be used in all scenarios of PST corruption.
