Default 2 x Personal Folders - 2003 ??



I recently upgraded to Outlook 2003...and there are a few things i still
haven't really figured out..

Firstly, I never really used the email function in 2000 anyway, as I've
always prefered OE...nut just curious to know why in the defualt window pain
of 2003...there are 2 "Personal Folers" under Mail...

One has the "Today" style icon next to it, and the other has a sort of "data
file"box icon...

I'd be curious to hear anyone's views on actually using 2003 as their main
emailer in stead of OE too...


cheers,
Hi-Soft

do you need the features in Outlook? If not and OE meets your needs, why
change? You may have a ghost folder or just a second pst in the profile. Is
there any messages in it? Can you right click on it and choose close?

Well...I don't really know what the extra features in 2003 are...actually i
thought OE had more feature eg newsgroups...!

but one feature that would be handy is the syncing of Outlook email with my
PDA, and then my Laptop....as at the moment i can't really sync OE
propperly..

I guess just having it all toger makes it easier to back up etc too..BUT...I
really no my way around OE...and would need to really read up on Outlook I
think..

Now, these 2 folders...they are identicle as in what they contain..ie... the
usual deleted, drafts, inbox, junk mail, sent etc...

If i right click on the mail root "personal' folder of either, the option to
"close personal folders" is greyed out !

Then in whatever you did to configure OL/add pst's you corupted your
profile.
With OL closed use the mail applet inthe control panel to create a new
profile, add the pst and configure accounts

sounds like you have a ghost - try this

profile.
