Two Copies of Personal Folders Please Help!

[Shannon Bradford]

I just transfered all of my email from my old computer to my new one and I
just noticed that I have two identical copies of my personal folders in
Outlook 2003. If I do something to one of them, it happens to both of them.

How can I get rid of one of the copies of my personal folders?

Also, I don't like the favorites folder. Can I hide or remove it?

Thanks.

Shannon

you can edit the registry, but it'll be easier to make a new profile.

No, you can't hide Favorite folders. Try Ctrl+6 to use the old folder list
view.

Won't making a new profile mean I'll lose all of my old email?

If it won't get rid of my old contacts/email, how do I go about making a new
profile?

Thanks for the help!

I tried both of the things mentioned at the links below but they didn't work
fully. They did create a new profile but all of my old email was GONE. How
do I get it back and in the folders I had it in before?

Thanks for your help.

You need to add your old pst to your profile and set it as default.

Thanks I figured that part out finally. I had to choose my Outlook.pst, not
my personal.pst. However this takes me back to my original problem. By
following these directions I still have to copies of my "personal folders"
which was my original problem. My old email is now included in the lower
copy of "personal folders" with only the new email at the top version of
"personal folders".

Any idea how to get rid of the top one?

Thanks again for your help.
