Running OL2003, I've removed an IMAP mail account via the Tools/Email
Accounts procedure, but the high-level IMAP account folder remains
under my "All Mail Folders"/"Personal Folders" list. Whenever I
attempt to delete, or "close", that folder, I am unable to enact any
action. How can one delete a folder from the list after its
associated account has been removed? I guess I assumed this would
have occurred when I removed the account?

Thanks,

Thanks for the direction. When I go under the "New" menu bar, I don't
find "profile". Is there an easy way to do this? Can I effectively
utilize all my existing folders sans the one which although it doesn't
exist is still listed?

Control Panel-Mail Icon-Profiles-New. As for your other question, it depends on what type of folders these are - do they belong to the IMAP account or your .pst?

Yikes! When I did that, and opened that profile, all my calendar,
tasks, contact info, etc. did not get retained. :-(

I would like to simply delete the folders no longer in use due to fact
the account(s) was closed (I'm still puzzled why they are showing up
since I did close the accounts within OL).

Actually, I could probably live without OL mail (just use another
program). Is there a way to open OL, with a new mail profile, and
have all my calendar information available?

Thanks again,

Howie

When you create a new profile, you have to point it to your PST. Here's some
great instructions on how to create a new profile:

For IMAP? You don't know what you're talking about.
