Duplicate Mailboxes

Sorry for a simple question, but I really am puzzled. I have installed
Outlook 2003 at home and I am really surprised by the following situation:

On the left hand side of the screen headed 'Mail', I have 'Favorite Folders'
including 'Inbox' etc.
Underneath that I have 'All Mail Folders', subsection 'Personal Folders',
also including 'Inbox' etc.
Now when an email comes in, it goes to both Inboxes and whatever I do in the
Favorite Folders (deleting etc.) is duplicated by the computer in the
corresponding Personal Folder.

I think this is peculiar and obviously I don't want such automatic
duplication. I want incoming mail to arrive in the Favorite Folders Inbox
only. If I want to have an email in the Personal Folder Inbox, I want to drag
it there myself. I mean, I think that's normal. That's what I do in the
office.

Can someone tell me the purpose of this default and what I can do to change
it.

Regards, Lancelot
 
Favorite folders is nothing more than a shortcut to a mailfolder. This
enables you easily access certain mailfolders.
