Outlook 2003 corrupted

[Guest]

I created a new profile and added my email accounts. I opened the old folder
and I can see for my old saved emails, I only have to move the folder into
the new profile to hold on to my old emails. I also copied my contracts and
tasks over.

How do I move my calendar items copied to the new profile?
If I can't copy the calendar items, how else should I do the transfers?

You've already copied them. Make sure you've added the Outlook Address Book
service to the new profile and you've set the Contacts folder to show as an
e-mail Address Book:

"Show this folder as an e-mail Address Book" check box is dimmed in Outlook

You copy the calendar items exactly the same way you copied your other
items.

What you're saying doesn't make sense. A mail profile is a construct in the
registry. It's not a file you can delete.

If you created a new Profile you merely add your old data file to it

Well, I dragged the folders and that did not work. But then I realized that
the right click menu has a copy and past function.
Thank you,

Copy the _contents_ of the any folders whose names match the default folder
names. Do not copy the folders themselves.

My calendar has a problem now. For the calendar you cannot choose "select
all" meaning the contents.
I copied the calendar from the old file to the new personal folder, but it
created calendar1. I tried copying the calendar to calendar and it made it a
subfolder.
How can I do this. I cannot delete the old calendar folder and make the new
calendar1 the new folder.

I found this knowledge base article which copied the calendar properly

Change your calendar view to a table view like By Category. The select
everything by pressing CTRL-A. Click Edit>Copy to Folder and specify your
default calendar folder as the destination.
