I have reinstalled Outlook 2003 and now have multiple personal folders. I
have gone the the unwanted folder and right clicked and tried to close it. I
get an error that says "operation failed. object could not be found". Someone
also suggested I to to control panel/mail/ data files and remove folder
there. I did that and it worked for one of the extra ones... There is only
one folder listed there. I don't want to delete that just incase it deletes
all of my email folders. I am relatively computer savvy but not much good at
registry files. A little nervous about the outcome. By the way, I can go to
the extra folder and open any files there so I don't think it is corruppted.
HELP
 
Just recreate your profile under Control Panel-Mail Icon-Show Profiles-New.
Do not copy your old one, it is corrupt.

Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to
the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal
account will be deleted without reading.
