    Hi @Krishma Devendrabhai Chhagani

    Welcome to our forum!

    It seems that Outlook is unable to locate your PST file, here are s few steps you may take:

    1. Check the File Path: Ensure that the file path mentioned in the error message is correct.
    2. Create a New PST File:
      • Go to Control Panel > Mail > Show Profiles.
      • Select your Outlook profile and click on Properties > Data Files.
      • Add a new PST file and set it as the default.
    3. Reconfigure the Mail Merge:
      • Ensure that the Mail Merge settings in Word are correctly pointing to the new or repaired PST file.

    In addition, you may want to refer to the article Use mail merge in Word to send bulk email messages - Microsoft Support and try again.

    Hope it helps.
