Auto archive error after upgrading to Outlook 2007

[Rajiv K Khandelwal]

I upgraded from Outlook XP to Outlook 2007 and when I ran the Auto Archive,
I got the following errors:
Error while archiving folder "Deleted Items" in store "Rekha Hotmail".
The server responded: 'Invalid mailbox name.'.

Error while archiving folder "Sent Items" in store "Rekha Hotmail". The
server responded: 'Invalid mailbox name.'.

Error while archiving folder "Sent Items" in store "Personal Folders".
The server responded: 'Invalid mailbox name.'.

Error while archiving folder "Calendar" in store "Personal Folders". The
server responded: 'Invalid mailbox name.'.

Error while archiving folder "Journal" in store "Personal Folders". The
server responded: 'Invalid mailbox name.'.

Error while archiving folder "Tasks" in store "Personal Folders". The
server responded: 'Invalid mailbox name.'.

Error while archiving folder "Plaxo Backup" in store "Personal Folders".
The server responded: 'Invalid mailbox name.'.

Error while archiving folder "Deleted Items" in store "Rajiv Hotmail".
The server responded: 'Invalid mailbox name.'.

Error while archiving folder "Sent Items" in store "Rajiv Hotmail". The
server responded: 'Invalid mailbox name.'.

I shall be obliged if I can be guided as how to resolve this issue.

Thanking you in anticipation.

After an upgrade it is recommended to recreate your mail profile. Especially
when going from Outlook 2002/XP connected to Exchange to a later version of
Outlook because of architectural changes such as Cached Exchange Mode and
UNICODE.
See http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/newprofile.htm

Robert,

Thanks for your reply. You mean to say that I delete all my mail accounts
and recreate them. Hope this is not going to affect my downloaded messages.
I am not using the Exchange Server.

No, recreating the mail profile is not the same as deleting and re-adding
your accounts. See the guide for details.

Robert,

Thanks for your advice. Yes, I figured it out and added a profile and
transferred the data as suggested in your link.

My Oultook folder has a number of files such as
(e-mail address removed)-00000007.pst having -0000000? as a figure. How can they be
renamed and reduced?

You're using an IMAP account, it seems. You have no control over the name
Outlook chooses for an IMAP account's PST.
