how do I remove duplicate Personal Folders in the navigation pane
Try a new profile created via the Mail icon in Control Panel then open your
old PST and copy the items to the new one. -- Bill R MVP "SBN" wrote in message ... Personal Folders appears twice in the navigation Pane in Outlook 2003. They seem to be associated with the same pst file.I cannot remove either since the remove folder command is greyed out |

Creating a new mail profile doesn't automatically create a new PST, although it appears you believe it does. There will be no "new" and "old" PSTs for the OP to copy between. There will be just the original PST which they can use in the new profile. -- Brian Tillman |

how do I remove duplicate Personal Folders in the navigation p
This may well correct the issue. However it seems like a lot of work to solve
an issue in which a single PST file is being shown twice in the Navigation Pane. Surely there must be a route to de-select one of the instances?

how do I remove duplicate Personal Folders in the navigation pane
Actually, Bill is right, and therein lies the problem. Starting with Outlook
2003 (and continuing with Outlook 2007), creating a new Outlook profile with a non-Exchange transport does indeed create a new PST file and sets it as the default. That fact is the reason we have has this epidemic of duplicate PST files as users fail to rid themselves of this default PST and migrate to another PST and set it as the default correctly. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Brian Tillman" wrote in message ...

It would seem so, but there isn't. This _is_ the easy method. The other
method involves hacking the registry, which has become nearly impossible to do with Outlook 2003 and 2007. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "SBN" wrote in message ... This may well correct the issue.

That is blatantly incorrect. Try it for yourself and please don't jump
threads with incorrect information - leave it to those who know. -- Bill R MVP "Brian Tillman" wrote in message ...
