Profiles mixing?

P

Peter

I have seperate profiles for two users on Outlook 2003. The correct folders
(inbox, outbox etc) for my profile no longer appear in "Outlook Today".
Instead, I get the folders from the other profile (my wife's). If I access
"Inbox" via "Favorite Folders", I get to the correct inbox for my profile.
I have tried inbox repair but it did not help.
I could start over with a new profile I suppose but do not want to lose all
the stored messages and folders.

Change your delivery location back to yor own folders at the bottom of
Tools>E-mail Accounts>Next. Stop and restart Outlook.

Thanks Brian.

The mail gets delivered to the correct inbox. However, when I look at the
"Outlook Today" view it shows the inbox etc for the other profile.
It doesn't matter what I choose as the folders to display, they are always
for the wrong account.

You sound like you're confusing mail profiles and folder sets. "Outlook
Today" is, by definition, where Outlook will delivery incoming messages for
all POP accounts.
