I've got an odd (cosmetic?) situation with an Outlook 2003 system
(Windows XP Pro SP2 with all latest updates for both Windows and
Office). System is a Dell Latitude D610 with 1G RAM, and is otherwise
running fine (passes full spyware/virus sweep just fine).
The user has a .PST file named "mh-v3.PST", but it shows up in the
"Data File Management" section twice. It also shows as two different
trees. Both of these are identical; if you delete a message in tree #1
and then look in that same folder in tree #2, it's gone. So it's not an
*actual* duplicate file, but like an "echo" of the file showing up
twice. If I look in the "Data File Management" section, here's what I
see listed (the first is his auto-archive file, of course):
C:\Documents and Settings\matth\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\mh-v3-archive-1.pst
C:\Documents and Settings\matth\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\mh-v3.pst
C:\Documents and Settings\matth\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\mh-v3.pst
Of those, the second one is marked "mail delivery location".
It seems pretty much just a cosmetic problem (no harm being done as far
as I can tell), but does anyone know how to fix this? It is kind of
annoying, and I'm wondering if it's indicitive of a problem I should
have fixed, like database corruption. Thanks!
