Too Many Personal Folders

[Dave Harding]

I move my outlook.pst file back and forth, by "import" between my home and
laptop computers. I do not import duplicate entries.

Somewhere in this process I have "acquired" several new Personal Folders.
In the folder list there are four of them. The active data appears in the
second one, counting from the top and the third and fourth seem to be
duplicates.

How do I safely reduce all my data to just one Personal Folder, and how do I
prevent this growth in the future.

TIA, Dave Harding in PA.

That's your first mistake. Do't use import/export. Just copy your pst.

fourth seem to be duplicates.

Search this newsgroup for "ghost folders" for the answer. It's a Registry
problem.

How do I do searches of prior group posts?

The easiest way I know of is via http://groups.google.com and search in
the microsoft.public.outlook.*

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
