I created a new profile and closed the existing one, which caused me to lose
all my email. I thought I was closing and not deleting. Oh well, live and
learn. Now I still have the same outlook files plus another, Outlook2.pst.
They are all doing the same thing as before. I guess my email is gone for
good, right?

If you cannot close either one, then you have a corrupt profile and must
create a new one from scratch. You can then designate which PST file
should be your default in that profile and close any others you do not
want or need.

winxp pro sp2, outlook 2003
I did a "detect and repair" and now have outlook.pst and outlook1.pst. It
does not matter which one I select as default, they both display the same
info. Outlook.pst is 2.2mb and outlook1.pst is 3.9mb. Neither will
allow me to rename or delete. Can someone help me out on this?
