Ol 2K folders problem

N

Norman

I am running OF2K.
This is from a total new install of everything about 2 months old due to
hardware issue.
When setting of OL, I inadvertently pointed it to the wrong pst, last years
used as a yearly archive, and it obligingly downloaded mail from ISP server.
I added the correct one and moved the newly downloaded mail after setting
the proper pst as the download location. And then removed the pst intended
for last year.

Somewhere in the process something went wrong. The old personal folder list
kept randomly returning. I could have OL open and after a time the old would
just be added back. I tried repair of OL and repair of OF which did not
help. I ran a restore and it would be gone only to reappear. If I choose
properties of this, it tells me it can't locate.
Looking at mail properties, it is not listed in services so it is not
removable from there. Yet when it reappears, it is listed in the deliver to
drop down and it shows the contacts for this pst under the addressing at
that time as well.

Digging more, it seems to occur when I enable the contacts from the proper
pst to be shown as an address list.

Help

Thanks to all who read my problem.
Good news. After countless restores and attempts at setting changes
pertaining to contacts and use as address book, the problem has become
unstuck.
Further efforts revealed that the problem had something to do with adding
Outlook Address Book and allowing contacts to be used as address book.
My best guess is that it took an immediate reboot after one of the changes
even though the system did not call for it.

Thanks again.

IT IS BACK!
Now I am stuck because oldest restore point does not get rid of the errant
set of folders listed.
Any suggestions?
