Default Multiple file problem

I have just transferred my old pst file to a new computer.
What Outlook 2003 has done is make multiple Contact and Calendar files of
each. Some have the original data in, but most are empty.
I need to know how to get back to the one file of each.
The OK files are in \\Personal Folders.
The empty ones are in something like \\Personal Folders\Draft\Draft\Draft\
.........
There are probably 100 od the draft ones set up in the system, and they
don't appear to be deleted when I do a manual delete.
HELP PLEASE!

Rod

You'll have to telkl us exactly how you transferred the data before we can
tell you hos to fix it. In general, the way you fix it is create a new mail
profile and point it at the PST you want to use.

Outlook does not do this when you transfer PST files correctly. I suspect
you did not, but you've provided no information that would permit anyone to
help you. Spell out in detail what you did. Or just read the Help files.
They tell you how to transfer Outlook data correctly.
