It is impossible to "combine" files from OE and Outlook. They are completely
unrelated programs with incompatible data file types.
Whoever "serviced" your computer needs to tell you what they did to your
Outlook profile. You are asking us to unscramble eggs. For starters, you
need to figure out which of these files actually contains your most current
Outlook data by examining their contents and then look in the properties of
that file to determine its exact name and location.
Do you back up your data regularly?

My computer was recently serviced and all the old file folders from
Outlook
Express and MS Outlook (.pst) were combined. There are 5 main folders
now.
Archives, Contacts, Inbox, Pat, Personal, Sent. Within each of these
folders there are inboxes, deleted, sent, contacts, and some others. So
there is a Contacts in Archives and in Contacts and in Personal. There
are 4
inboxes - all different. Incoming emails are coming into Archives - Inbox
,
not Inbox - Inbox. When I try to send an email message I can't get at the
contacts list in Contacts, It defaults to the Contacts list in Archives.

Question: How do I get the Personal Folders Folder to be the default
folder?
Why do I have to have all these duplicate folders at this level when they
already exist in the Personal Folders Folder?
How do I get Contacts into the Personal Folders?
Then how do I make this my default Contacts list?
Can I delete these other contact lists then?
I have searched all through TOOLS but cannot figure it out.
