Double entries of personal folders!?!

L

Lennart Svenssson

Hi,

I'm having some problems with one of my machines running Outlook 2003. I
have redirected the *.pst file to a file (on my network) that I earlier used
from an Outlook 2000. When I now open my new Outlook I get two personal
folders in the list (to the left). They both hold the same contents and I
can't remove any of them.

This causes several problems for me. Is there a way to purge all the
contents in Outlook 2003 and start all over again?

Regards,

You have a corrupted mail profile;

Create a new profile (do not copy it);
Control Panel-> Mail-> button Show Profiles

To access your current pst-file in the new profile;
File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...

To set it as the default delivery location;
Tools-> E-mail Accounts...-> button Next-> use the dropdownlist below

Note that connecting to a pst-file on a networkshare is not supported or
recommended by Microsoft.
