2 identical Personal Folders in Folder List and Mail views in Navaigation Pane

[jsg]

Hi,
Appreciate your help with this. I am using Outlook 2003/WinXP.
There are 2 identical Personal Folders in Folder List and Mail views
in Navaigation Pane. Both have identical list of sub folders of
Drafts, Inbox, Sent, etc. If I click on one Inbox, the contents are
the same as in the other, etc. If I close a sub folder, the same sub
folder in the other also goes.
If I RC on either one of the Personal Folders, the selection "close
personal folder" is grayed. How can I get rid of the second one? The
only difference between them is the icon to their left. The top most
Personal Folder has an icon like a house. The other has an icon like
a set of folders.
Thank you so very much.
JG

Use File->Data File Management. How many .psts show up there? If 2, then
remove one using the "Remove" option.

I posted this same problem earlier and still need help.
How about if only 1 of them show-up in the File->Data
File Managemt window? In my case I have 2 identical sets,
one is the "old" name of the .pst, one the new... the new
name shows up in File>DFM and they both are idential
clones to one another, any action in one takes place in
the other. How to get rid of the unwanted one?

Try creating a new mail profile here: Control Panel->Mail Icon->Show
Profiles.
