Outlook 2003 Personal Folder

[Sam]

Hello - Using Outlook 2003, WinXP Pro SP2, fresh install - re-loaded Office
2003.

In the folders view in Outlook, I have 2 "Personal Folders" mail folders
listed. Only one is valid, containing some old emails. The other will not
open or allow me to delete. I uninstalled Office and re-installed, no help.

When I right click on the invalid Personal Folder icon, and select close, I
get "Operation Failed, an object could not be found"

When I try op open the folder, I get "The set of folders could not be
opened, and a few suggestions on why - including PST file unavailable,
corrupt, etc. I have no PST file associated with this and cannot seem to
remove it from the mail folders pane. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Sam

Your profile is corrupted, probably from migrating your .pst file
improperly.

Create a new mail profile using Control Panel->Mail Icon and configure it to
use your correct .pst file.
