Outlook 2003 - Personal Folders

[ChrisB]

I have upgraded from XP to 2003.

My Mail, Calender, Tasks, etc. now have two Personal Folders (apart from the
Archive Folders that I already had) - i.e. in Calendar I have two folders -
Calendar and Calendar in Personal Folders. In Mail I Have two Personal
Folders that hold the same information, etc.

In all cases the information is duplicated and they update together. Why is
this happening and can I get rid of one of them? The option to remove or
delete is not there - which dosn't surprise me as it is seeing both of them
as the default folder. They both have the same file path.

What do I need to do to resolve this?

Many thanks

I have resolved this.

It was to do with my profiles. In case anyone is interested, this was the
fix:

To work around this behavior, remove the duplicate copy of the .pst file
from your Mail profile:
1. Close Outlook.
2. Start Control Panel, and then double-click Mail.
3. Click Show Profiles, click your profile, and then click Properties.
4. Click Data Files.
5. Click the duplicate personal folder, click Remove, click Yes, click
Close, click Close again, and then click OK.
6. Start Outlook. The duplicate personal folder should not be present.
