Outlook Personal Folder Issue

[Sam]

Hello - Using Outlook 2003, WinXP Pro SP2, fresh install - re-loaded Office
2003.

In the folders view in Outlook, I have 2 "Personal Folders" mail folders
listed. Only one is valid, containing some old emails. The other will not
open or allow me to delete. I uninstalled Office and re-installed, no help.

When I right click on the invalid Personal Folder icon, and select close, I
get "Operation Failed, an object could not be found"

When I try op open the folder, I get "The set of folders could not be
opened, and a few suggestions on why - including PST file unavailable,
corrupt, etc. I have no PST file associated with this and cannot seem to
remove it from the mail folders pane. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Sam

Sorry - one of the Personal Folders is the default folder - this one cannot
be deleted - this is OK.

There is an additional Personal Folder that I cannot remove from the folders
list.
