You didn't look before you posted. This question has been posted countless
times.
It is indicative of a corrupt profile, most likely because the information
store was not migrated the way Microsoft wants you to.
It is largely cosmetic.
You can fix it by creating a new profile from scratch and migrating data to
it the way Microsoft tells you to in the Outlook 2003 Help files.

I've got an odd (cosmetic?) situation with an Outlook 2003 system (Windows
XP Pro SP2 with all latest updates for both Windows and Office). System is
a Dell Latitude D610 with 1G RAM, and is otherwise running fine (passes
full spyware/virus sweep just fine).

The user has a .PST file named "mh-v3.PST", but it shows up in the "Data
File Management" section twice. It also shows as two different trees. Both
of these are identical; if you delete a message in tree #1 and then look
in that same folder in tree #2, it's gone. So it's not an *actual*
duplicate file, but like an "echo" of the file showing up twice. If I look
in the "Data File Management" section, here's what I see listed (the first
is his auto-archive file, of course):

C:\Documents and Settings\matth\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\mh-v3-archive-1.pst
C:\Documents and Settings\matth\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\mh-v3.pst
C:\Documents and Settings\matth\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook\mh-v3.pst

Of those, the second one is marked "mail delivery location".

It seems pretty much just a cosmetic problem (no harm being done as far as
I can tell), but does anyone know how to fix this? It is kind of annoying,
and I'm wondering if it's indicitive of a problem I should have fixed,
like database corruption. Thanks!
