Now, one last thing...
When I dragged my calendar folder into the newly created
calendar folder, it created a folder "Calendar" and a
subfolder "Calendar". The main Calendar folder, of
course, has no appointments, but it will not let me
delete it. The subfolder "calendar" has all of my future
appointments in it. OL will allow me to delete it, but if
I do that, I will lose all of my appointments, right?
How do I resolve this?
P.S. You guys are great!!!

You managed to corrupt your profile. Create a new one

I got all that and transferred the folders. Now, when I
right click on the old Personal Folders, and click on
Close Personal Folders, it says "The operation failed.
An
object could not be found."
What now?

To use another PST file (such as one from an earlier
installation) and set
it to be the default for your current installation of
Outlook, you will
first need to know the location and name of the PST
file
you'd like to use
as your new default. Then use the following
directions:
- Go to Tools > Options > Mail Setup > Data Files >
Add...
- Add the PST you'd like as your new default, then
Close
OK to exit the
Options dialog
- Go to Tools > E-mail Accounts > View or change
existing e-mail accounts
- Select the PST you just added in the "Deliver New e-
mail to the following
location" dropdown (it will most likely appear just
below the current
default Personal Folders file) > Finish
- Exit and Restart Outlook
- You can now close the previous default PST (R- click
on
that pst folder
while in Folder View and select "Close <foldername>
Folders"). If you have
any information in your former PST that you'd like to
transfer to your new
default PST, you can drag and drop from one to the
other
before you close
the old one.

I tried it w/o importing anything. It created a
new .pst
file. I then changed the path to use my 45K+ .pst
file,
and it brought up the 2 personal folders files, as
in
my
original problem.
Is there any possible way that someone could call me
(toll-free) and explain to me what I am doing
wrong? My
number is 866-776-2551.

Why do you insist on importing? There is
absolutely no
need to do so when
you create a new profile. That's what's causing
your
problem. Just use your
previous PST in the new profile.

DId all of that. When I imported the .pst file,
the
same
problem occured. How do I get the duplicate
Personal
File
folders out of the backed-up .pst file?

No, if you go to 1) you can delete the profile
and
create a new one.

I did number 1 as you described below. exited
Outlook,
re-
opened and still have the same issues. Am I
supposed to
switch users or something?

1) Control Panel-> Mail-> button Show
Profiles...
2) most likely because you haven't done 1)
yet ;-

I recently reformatted my hard drive (WinXP
Pro
+
Office
2003) I copied & pasted my old .pst files
from
Outlook
2002 and some strange (minor) things are
happening:
1) I have 2 identical sets of "Personal
Folders"
displayed along the right side of Outlook
2003.
Why
and
how do I get it down to 1 set? I reviewed
some
posts
in
this newsgroup talking about creating a new
profile.
I
could not find out how to do that in
Outlook.
2) When I try to send an email & click on
the "To,
cc,
or
bcc" buttons to fill in an address, it
gives me
2 "contacts" lists to choose from in
the "Show
Names
from
the" drop down arrow. However, one of them
is
blank.
How do I delete the blank one and make it
bring up
the
correct one automatically every time?
