Duplicate Personal Folders

I have two instances of "My Personal Folders" in my Outlook 2003. I am not
sure how it got there. But, when I first installed it, I somehow ended up
with two instances of it in my folders list. They have the same exact
information. E-mail folder is exactly the same as the other "My Personal
Folders." And when I say that I have two instances of "My Personal Folders,"
I do mean two instances. Even the name is exactly the same.

How can I eliminate one of the instances to clean up the appearance and
simplify my contact search for e-mails and such? It is just kind of annoying
to see in my "Calendars" folder a "Calendar" and a "Calendar in My Personal
Folder." Both calendars are exactly the same. Help? Anyone?

Did you read any of the posts here? Few have been answered more frequently
than this one. You have a corrupt profile. Create a new one.
 
I did an initial search for what I was looking for. But it pulled up so many
results that most were not relevant from the large list that was there for
what I was looking for.

When you say that the file is corrupted, does that mean that I need to erase
the original PST and start from scratch? Or re-assign Outlook to search for
a new PST?

The first step is simply to see if you can R click and close the duplicate
set of folders. If you can't, then you have a corrupt profile from having
migrated your data file incorrectly. Create a new profile and set it to use
your current PST file rather than the new one the new profile creates.
