Hi, All:

Because I am somewhat of a neophyte using Office 2003 within the Vista
environment, I'm not sure I have a problem or not.

When I open Outlook, on the left-hand side, under the dark, blue bar, is
"Mail". Then, under that, is a light, blue bar "Favorite Folders" (FF).
Under FF,. I see, "Personal Folders", "Drafts", "Deleted Items", "Inbox",
etc.

At the end of these folders, there is another light, blue bar, "All Mail
Folders"; then,a "Personal Folders'" tree containing all the same folders
that are under "Mail".

In other words, there is a double "Inbox", double "Drafts", double
everything. I've tried deleting, Outlook won't all it.

Is this "normal"? If not, how do I eliminate the doubles?

Thank you in advance.

Ernie

Its normal. Delete the folders from favorites and use the ones in all mail
folders if it bugs you.

Thank you for your response, Diane.

Unfortunately, "Delete" is grayed out. And, when I highlight a folder in
favorites and press the "Delete" button, nothing happens.

Any suggestions? Or, must I live with it. (Like so many other things in
life) )

Well, I'll be. It worked. They don't call you MVP for nothin'. No wonder
you are a woman of letters. )

Thank you for your help. It was very annoying to me to see "doubles".
Hmmm, I wonder what that means about mE. I guess the good news is, I never
fathered twins!!!

Anywho, thank you, again. I never would have figured that out.

I wish you and your family well.
