I installed Outlook 2003 on a new computer and copied my 2000 pst file over.
I used this as a guide:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx

Outlook opens and I see my email and contacts. Except that I see 5 instances
of PERSONAL FOLDERS, and when I go to CONTACTS, I see 1 CONTACTS and 4
instances of CONTACTS IN PERSONAL FOLDERS.

What is happening here? Should I not have just one each? The biggest problem
that the CONTACTS that is accessed when I create an email is not the CONTACTS
that has my data... I have to select the next one to see my contacts.

That article is somewhat misleading in that following can corrupt your mail
profile and that sounds like what has happened.

If you create a new mail profile and configure it to access the PSTs you
want, that should correct both problems you have.
