Cant't get rid of "Private folders" inside outlook 2003

K

KISK

Have tried to connect to old PST file after complete reinstall, problem is
now that I have 3 instances of "private folder" inside Outlook. Tried to
disconnect PST but have been making the mistake that I have deleted old PST
file.. Now what? Is there some tool that can clean out this mess?



Best regards

Kim Skoedt

Create a new profile (do not copy it);
Control Panel-> Mail-> button Show Profiles

To access your current pst-file in the new profile;
File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...

To set it as the default delivery location;
Tools-> E-mail Accounts...-> button Next-> use the dropdownlist below

The tool is the Mail applet in Control Panel. You need to create a nwe mail
profile because you've corrupted your old one.
