Outlook displays two identical Personal Folders
Sorry to start this up again, but I've got the same problem Doreen had: a new
PC (Windows XP), fresh install of Office 2003, only one pst file but two identical Personal Folders. My old PC has only one personal folder, but after transfering pst file my new PC insists on duplicating the Persoanl Folder. Both operate as the default, so I'm unable to close or delete either of them. I use Office extensively for emails, calendar, tasks etc. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: Very unusual. I don't think I've ever seen Outlook create duplicate Personal Folders by itself with a clean install. If it happens again, creating a new profile is the easiest way to fix the problem. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Doreen" wrote in message news Thank you for responding. No, I did not migrate any files. Upon opening for the first time, duplicate Personal Folders displayed. No data had been imported or files copied. Since my post, I have sucessfully coped my .pst file from the computer from which I am upgrading. After installation on the new computer, and working through the problem, it appears that the duplicate Personal Folders problem has been corrected. Thank you again for your kind response. It was very much appreciated. "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: This is usually the result of a corrupt profile caused by migrating Outlook data incorrectly. After this fresh install, did you migrate data from an earlier version of Outlook? If so, how? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Doreen" wrote in message ... On a new computer, I have done a fresh install of Office 2003. Outlook displays two identical copies of the Personal Folders. Changes to one are reflected in the duplicate. There is only one .pst file. I have removed and reinstalled Outlook to no avail. I would like to know what might be causing this duplicate folder to display or how it could be removed. Thank you. |
