cannot remove reminders

[Guest]

Hello,
1. I trancated, repaired and compacted a pst that became more than 2G
(Outlook 2K).
Now I have 7 reminders that pop up.
Reminders are for events that expired and not appear in Calendar.

2. My trancated pst shows Recovered Folder A342 instead of Inbox.
I reinstalled Outlook and imported repared pst.
I have clean Inbox, but all my previous Inbox folders are in RECOVERED
FOLDER A342.
I moved all subfolders from Recovered to Inbox.
The problem is that new messages are comming to Recovered Folder.

How can fix this problems?

Thanks,
Michael.

If I were in your shoes, I'd create a new PST, make it the delivery
location, stop and restart Outlook, and then transfer everything in the old
PST to the appropriate folders of the new one.

Brian, thanks for quick answer.
Let me try to repeat what I understood from your answer.
1. I Backup my working problematic pst.
2. Delete pst from default location.
3. Open Outlook ( it will create new pst).

What after?
To open old pst and move all e-mails?
I will try to do that.

When I will open old pst I will have Archived folder that I think not
removable and will always poing to old file?

thanks again,
Michael.

I never said any of that.

In Outlook, click File>New>Personal Folders File. Browse to a folder for
your new PST (or accept the default) and give it a name (or accept the
default). Now you'll have another set of Personal Folders in your Folder
List. Select the new Personal Folders root, then click
File>Filed>Properties. Select "Deliver POP mail to this personal folders
file," then click OK. Stop and Restart Outlook. The new Personal Folders
will become your Outlook Today with a fresh set of default folders. Now
move the contents of your old folders to the new ones. FInally, close the
old folders by right-clicking on the root and choosing "Close".

Brian,
now it's clear for me , sorry I did it different way.
I will take initial file and will try it on test pc.

Please read what I did:

Opened Outlook with no pst.
It created new one.

I opened working pst.
It created new Personal Folder.
I tried to move subfolders to new Inbox.
It moves some folders and some not. Complaines on file permissions.
What to do here with file permissions?

I will try right now your method but I might have the same problem with
copy/ move.

Please let me know why it happens and what can I do?

Thanks,
Michael.

Brian,
I tried your method.
As I expected I cannot move all folders.
Some yes, some no. Basicly I did the same operation with my method
The message is:
Can't move the items. Unable to delete this folder.
Right-click the folder and then click properties to check your permissions
for the folder. See the folder owner or your administrator to change your
permissions.

Funny message!?
I did this operation not on original laptop. (Big boss works)
So I do my trials on test pc. What permissions. I can move some folders...

BTW, reminder issues are solved.

The only problem is that new mail comming to Recovered folder.
What you will suggest?

Thanks.
Michael.

Of course you can't move the default folders, as I explained in my message.
Are the folders you can't move ones you created? If so, don't move then,
copy them. You're going to close the old PST anyway, so it doesn't matter.
If they're the default folders, you can't even copy them. You have to copy
their contents instead.

Brian,
I am not talking about default folder.
Option copy not exists. When you drug and drop folder, it moves a folder.
When you right click on folder you have option move folder.

this is an example:
I move "royal bank" folder to my new inbox.
28 messages were moved succesfully. 3 not.
I select 3 messages when I drop them to new "royal bank" folder I get:
Can't move the items. Could not complete the operation.
One or more parameter values are not valid.

The same story with many other subfolders.

The long error message that I sent you in previous post appear when I move a
folder. Even after this message folder is partially moved.
The message above appears when I try to move single messages.

I came to conclusion that this is a result of trancation.

In Microsoft knowledgebase I found an article that discuss an error message
from
a previous post. They suggest in my situation to forward messages.
Sure it's impossible. Very time consuming.
I have some other ideas.
What is important that reminders disappeared.
Now it's really cosmetical problem. That new messages comming to folder
"Recovered A342" which I cannot rename.
But all folder structure is in Inbox.

thank you very much for input.

Michael.

Sure it does. Right-click a folder and you should see it. Even if you
don't, if you right-click and drag the folder, you should see it.

When you drug and drop folder, it moves a
folder. When you right click on folder you have option move folder.

this is an example:
I move "royal bank" folder to my new inbox.
28 messages were moved succesfully. 3 not.
I select 3 messages when I drop them to new "royal bank" folder I get:
Can't move the items. Could not complete the operation.
One or more parameter values are not valid.

The same story with many other subfolders.

It sounds like the corruption you experienced in the PST affected some items
beyond repair. You may have to face losing those particular items. Don't
you back up frequently?

I came to conclusion that this is a result of trancation.

Truncation. It could very well be. WHen you repair a PST that has exceeded
2 GB, you lose data. There's no way around that.
