PST files

[Ron Harter]

I had a PST file that was corrupted and causing all kinds of problems. I exported the data, created a new PST file and imported the data into it. I ran the checkup utility on the PST file and everything was ok. Outlook appears to be back to normal with the exception that it shows 3 Personal Folders, 2 of which don't exist. When you click on the you get an error. How do I remove them from the folders list?

Thanks

As we post here every day, you never export and import Outlook data, unless
you want to corrupt your profile like this.
Next time, just copy your data from the old PST file into a new one.
This time, you'll have to create a new Outlook profile form scratch.

You corrupted your profile in the method used
With OL closed use the mail applet in the control panel to create a new
profile, add the data file & accounts & test

Exporting/Importing native OL data is not the reccommended method, you
simply create a new data file & copy data to it.
Of course you could allways have run scanpst.exe, the repair tool, on the
pst first
