Outlook2007-Outlook Connector-Account listed three times

[MMax]

Software:
Vista Home Professional SP1
Outlook 2007 (12.0.6316.5000)

I'd been having trouble getting my MSN Premium Accounts to synchronize with
Outlook (All folders synchronized except for the Inbox), so I deleted Outlook
Connector. Shut down Outlook. Then, opened Outlook and reinstalled the
connector.

I created a new profile, and then added my accounts to the new profile.

I started Outlook and got a message stating that my accounts were being set
up for their first use. Then I got a message from Outlook Connector that
three of my accounts were eligible for use with Outlook Connector and asked
would I like to transfer them?

I erroneously assumed that the accounts found were three separate MSN
premium accounts. It turns out that they were three separate iterations of
my primary MSN Premium account. (Perhaps they were found in the old Outlook
profiles?)

At any rate, Outlook now lists the same account three times; Outlook appears
to download data three times for this account; however, only one set of
folders actually functions properly. I would like to delete the two
"accounts" that don't work from Outlook, but I can't tell which account is
which. They all have the same name and don't have data files.

Is there any way to tell these accounts apart so that I can be sure to
delete the right ones?

I think you're better off starting with a new mail profile. Close Outlook,
delete all the MSN PSTs, use Control Panel's Mail applet to set up the new
profile and your one MSN account (manually, not automatically, in my
opinion), then restartring Outlook.

Thank you. I created a new profile, and everything seems to be working
properly now.
