No 'inbox' or 'sent items' or 'deleted items folders

I am using Outlook 2003 Pro. I have 6 Pop3 email accounts from the same ISP
setup in the 'All Mail Folders'. I created a new .pst data file for each of
them. When I created the first three pst files the following folders were
automatically created 'deleted items', 'inbox', 'outbox', 'sent items',
'search folders'. Each folder having there special icon. A few days later I
tried creating the other three pst files and the only folders that were
created were 'deleted items' and 'search folders'. There was no 'inbox',
'outbox' or 'sent items' folders. Does anyone have any ideas why the last
three folders were not created? Or what I can do to get them back without
manually creating them?

When you create a new PST, it will contain only Deleted Items and Search
Folders. If you then make that PST the delivery location, Outlook will
create all the default folders like Inbox, Outbox, Calendar, Tasks, Notes,
etc. If you see those folders in the first three PSTs, then at some point
you either created those folders manually or you had then set to be the
delivery location at some point.
