Please somebody help.

I was archiving personal folders (with all subfolders) according to a
date (older than). and named archive_something.pst

half-way through, it quit suddenly. I didn't carefully notice the error
message and clicked ok.

Now I tried to re-archive rest of the items back to the same file, but
it keeps saying, already a folder (like junk mail folder) exists by
that name and I can't archive.

Now I am stuck! with half emails strewn in different folders.

Anybody please let me know how to fix this?
I am using outlook 2003 windows XP SP2 Home
thanks,

drb

how large is the archive pst? Did you try renaming that pst or configuring
archive to use a new pst?
