Two Personal Folders under the Quick Pane

[Robert]

Outlook has two listing for personal folders under the quick viewing
pane. Mail, Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks have two identical listing
with slight different names; tasks and task for personal folders. I
would like to remove one since its may be inferring with my palm sync.
Please let me know if you have any ideas how to resolve this
situation.

My second question relates to adding additional PST files to the
Outlook. This process seems straight-forward; yet every time I open
Outlook it change the dates for these Archive Personal Folders. This
situation becomes a nuisance when syncing my Outlook PST files with my
laptop. Apparently, the time stamp date on the archive denotes a
recently changed file; thus the sync software processes the file for
transfer. These archive folders do not only hold old information, yet
allow me keep me pst file small for syncing. They divide my email into
bi-annual folders.

The post revolves around theme syncing PST files across computers,
palm, and networks without Exchange Server. Please let know if you
have any advice on the subject.

Are these duplicate listings in the same PST or are they in separate PSTs?
What version of Outlook?

I believe these are duplicate listings since they point to the same
file, outlook.pst; but I am not sure. Outlook 2003

When you right-click and select properties, the advance button returns
an error; "The operation failed. An object could not be found." Under
Data File Management, Outlook list only one PST file.

Archive PSTs and additional PSTs are not the same thing. Archive PSTs have
a specific function.. To which do you refer? Which dates get changed?

Now, you confused me. These PST are separate pst files created through
Outlook's Archive feature. Generally, I open them in Outlook just the
same as the Personal Folder; Outlook opens them by default; but I just
perform a clean re-install and have not imported these PST files in
Outlook as of today.

The file time stamp/ date changes just by opening the pst file into
Outlook.

Duplicate listings, yes, but not in the same PST, apparentlt. They're
duplicated in the Folder List as separate PSTs. This is a sign of a corrupt
mail profile.

Now, you confused me. These PST are separate pst files created through
Outlook's Archive feature.

Then they're true mail archive PSTs. I was just making sure I understood
because you said you opened the PSTs, not that Outlook opened them. If you
create a new PST with FIle>New>Outlook Data File, they will not be archive
PSTs unless you then point Outlook's archiving function at them.

The file time stamp/ date changes just by opening the pst file into
Outlook.

Which time stamp is that, one Outlook shows or one Windows shows? If the
latter, naturally it will change every time Outlook runs, since Outlook is
modifying the file. If the former, I don't know to which time stamp you
refer.
