Default Disable Personal Folder

If you have Office 98 or 2000, the personal folder can be disabled in the registry, see the following weblink,

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258277

It will not work for Outlook 2007, but you can change the default startup folder. Go to Tools, Options, and select the Other tab. Click on the Advanced Options button under General section. From here, you can change the startup folder by selecting the Browse button. I selected the Inbox for my IMAP setup because I don't have a pop account setup under the Personal Folder.

Disable Personal Folder for IMAP Setup

I know this question has probably been asked, but is there a way to remove
the Personal Folder completely. I am using an IMAP server for my email and
it is anoying having all those boxes empty.

Outlook requires a delivery location to specify its default folders and an
IMAP data store can never be the delivery location.

No. You need a location to store calendar and contacts (and notes, tasks,
and journal). If you aren't using these features, then you should consider
using a different client - outlook isn't the best imap client in the world.

Default Disable Personal Folder

If I understand your question correctly, you can't disable the use of PST
file(s) for IMAP accounts.

1) You need a PST file to support the IMAP account

2) You need another PST file because IMAP doesn't support the special
default folders Outlook needs to function. (e.g. Calendar, contacts, tasks,
journal.)
