Navigation Pane Issues in Outlook 2003

[Adrian A. Durlester]

Ever since migrating to Outlook 2003 (back when it first came out) I have
been plagued by issues with the Navigation Pane. Primarily, the issue is
wrong types of folder types appearing. For example, in the navigation pane
in the Calendar view, under "My Calendars" I see my two valid calendar
folders listed, along with other folders that are NOT calendar folders. At
work, I see the same 7 subfolders of the Inbox under My Calendars, My Notes,
My Tasks, and My Contacts. On my home computer, there isn't consistency as
to what shows up, and it isn't the same Inbox subfolders as at work, and at
home I also get other types of folders showing up, not just Inbox
subfolders.

I've worked with MS support several times in the last few years to try and
figure this out, and we've yet to find an answer. I've even tried creating a
clean profile and a new PSt and then dragging and dropping content from the
old pst. How can I dientify what is causing this corruption, and fix it,
when even a new profile and pst won't help?

I haven't seen anything in any of the newsgroups on this topic.

Do things work correctly after you've resetted the Navigation Pane?
To do this start Outlook with the /resetnavpane switch
