Hi,

I have aksed this before but the answer was lost in a crash!

I have re installed Oulook 2003 in Windows XP media centre. I have moved my
old pst file across but I have 2 personal folders showing the same emails.
In the deafault folder where my psf file sits there is only the 1 file.

Any ideas?

Can someone remind me what the file name is that holds all my old adress
line autofil is.
Thanks Mick
 
You have a corrupt profile - create a new one and configure it to use your
old .pst file. Never attempt to overwrite a .pst file

The N2K file holds all of your autoresolved email addresses.

It is not corrupt it is working fine. I just have 2 Home personal folders
with the same information.I never overwrote the old just deleted it and then
moved my old one across.

Creating a new profile still leaves me with the original problem.

Mick.
 
Milly is correct. Your profile is corrupt.
That is why you have 2 personal folders.
The reason your profile is corrupt is that you are migrating your data
incorrectly. You cannot "move your old data across" (whatever you mean by
that). Instead you must expressly configure Outlook to use your previous PST
file.

Instead creating a new profile to get rid of the second personal folder
you could try what's described in the link below before:

And gave it the same name the old one had, thereby corrupting the profile.

No it doesn't.
