Since you already said that your Exchange mailbox and Personal Folders
contain the same data, just close the Personal Folders to remove them from
your profile.

Hi,
The only thing I can think of for one of them, is the
fact that I added a new datafile temporarily to look at
some old email & the other one I assume is because when I
installed Outlook 2003, that I linked my account to my
PST file stored on my laptop...

How do I go about getting rid of everything, but keep one
set of contacts and calendar.....So that my PDa will sync
with it..

It is not necessary to have a Personal Folders file when

running against
Exchange, let alone 2 of them. How did those get there?

Hi,

I usually download my mail to my laptop rather than
keeping it on the server... I understand I seem to have
made a real mess of this, would you be able to help me
set it up to tidy everything up. I sync my pda

calendar,
contacts & email from my outlook on my laptop to my
PDA...Not sure what i need to do to sort all this...

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

John

This is getting more troubling all the time.

Apparently
you are using an
Exchange mailbox as your information store. Why do you
also have 2 sets of
Personal Folders in your Profile? Most Exchange
administrators prefer not to
use Personal Folders with Exchange.

Russ,
You have been a great help.....This seems to be getting
more complicated as time goes on.....Here is a list of
what is showing in my navigation pane...

Calendar (Has my Data in it)
Calendar in Mailbox - John Venables(No Data)

Contacts (Has my data in it)
Contacts in Mailbox - John Venables (No Data)

Tasks (Has my data in it)
Tasks in Mailbox - John Venables (No Data)

Notes (Has my data in it)
Notes in Mailbox - John Venables (No Data)

My Personal Folders are Stored in C:\My
Documents\Exchange\Outlook.pst which is listed under Data
File Management in Folders View

But I also have another PST stored in C:\my
documents\Outlook.pst Which i think is the one I had
added temporarily.... I cant delete this file, so outlook
must be referencing it somehow.

Russ, I am happy to delete everything necessary to clear
this problem up including the data, as I have it all on
my PDA apart from my stored emails(cant lose those) But I
can resync Calendar,notes,tasks & contacts.

sorry for causing all the grief, but thanks for the
continued help and support

Regards

John

take it home and no longer sync with my laptop.

Let's make sure that is the case, first.

Your
post
is
confusing. I don't
know what you mean by Contacts labeled

Personal
Folders.
Use the Folder List view (icon at the

bottom
of
the
Navigation Pane) to
display your entire Folder tree.
How many sets of Personal Folders (also
called "Outlook
Today")?
How many Contact Folders?

Hi,

I may have done exactly as you stated. I

only
have
one
contacts that are labelled Personal

Folders.

I am not sure where I went wrong...

You've left out too much information

for
anyone
to
help
you.
Outlook does not show two Contacts

Folders
unless
you've
configured it to do
so, even if you did so inadvertently.

Tell us
how
you
did this. I'm
suspicious you migrated data

incorrectly.
How many Personal Folders Files do you

have
in
this
profile?

Hiya, I am a new user of Outlook 2003

and
am
trying
to
figure out how to setup my

contacts....The
contact
view
shows I have 2 Contact lists under My
Contacts. I
have
Contacts and Contacts in Personal

Folders.
Both
of
these
locations have the same contacts. How

do I
change
it so
that only my contacts in personal

folders
are
shown
and
also that the other one is deleted to

free
up
space..As I
am assuming I only need the one

section

Default Contact Customisation

Russ,
Just as a quick update, i do need personal folders as my
Outlook account on the exchange server is only
45MB...That is why I have been downloading all my mail to
my laptop & keep my calendar and contacts on my laptop.

Hope this helps a little.

Well that doesn't help me. You want me to go look this

up for you?
Activesynch questions are handled in other groups if you

can't check for
yourself.
Just close your PST files. You do not need them when

running against
Exchange.

Start by checking with the manufacturer of your

synchronization software.
Most support synchs with Exchange, but make sure

first.

Russ,
You have been a great help.....This seems to be

getting
more complicated as time goes on.....Here is a list

of
what is showing in my navigation pane...

Calendar (Has my Data in it)
Calendar in Mailbox - John Venables(No Data)

Contacts (Has my data in it)
Contacts in Mailbox - John Venables (No Data)

Tasks (Has my data in it)
Tasks in Mailbox - John Venables (No Data)

Notes (Has my data in it)
Notes in Mailbox - John Venables (No Data)

My Personal Folders are Stored in C:\My
Documents\Exchange\Outlook.pst which is listed under

Data
File Management in Folders View

But I also have another PST stored in C:\my
documents\Outlook.pst Which i think is the one I had
added temporarily.... I cant delete this file, so

outlook
must be referencing it somehow.

Russ, I am happy to delete everything necessary to

clear
this problem up including the data, as I have it

all on
my PDA apart from my stored emails(cant lose those)

But I
can resync Calendar,notes,tasks & contacts.

sorry for causing all the grief, but thanks for the
continued help and support

Regards

John

Since you already said that your Exchange mailbox

and
Personal Folders
contain the same data, just close the Personal

Folders
to remove them from
your profile.

Hi,
The only thing I can think of for one of them, is

the
fact that I added a new datafile temporarily to

look at
some old email & the other one I assume is

because
when I
installed Outlook 2003, that I linked my account

to
my
PST file stored on my laptop...

How do I go about getting rid of everything, but

keep
one
set of contacts and calendar.....So that my PDa

will
sync
with it..

It is not necessary to have a Personal Folders

file
when
running against
Exchange, let alone 2 of them. How did those get
there?

Hi,

I usually download my mail to my laptop rather

than
keeping it on the server... I understand I

seem
to
have
made a real mess of this, would you be able to

help
me
set it up to tidy everything up. I sync my pda
calendar,

to
my
PDA...Not sure what i need to do to sort all

this...

Any help would be appreciated.

This is getting more troubling all the time.
Apparently
you are using an
Exchange mailbox as your information store.

Why
do
you
also have 2 sets of

Your need to talk to your Exchange administrator. I know of none who want
their users to add a PST file to their profile.
