Have duplicate "Personal Folders". Afriad to delete 1-may delete b
 

Outlok 2003(pro) - just had to do a re-install of operating system and all
programs. Windows XP Home.
- I now have duplicate personal folders each with "contacts" (and everything
else).. When I create a new e-mail message, and click on the To: it
shows nothing in contacts -BUT- when I click on the drop down list next to
the word [contacts] list, a 2nd [contacts] (looks identical) shows up and
when I click on it, there is my list of all of my contacts. HELP ME PLEASE.
The two [Personal Folders] listsing, one has a different icon to the
left of it. One has little clock and house over what looks like a sheet of
paper. The other has just what looks like a row of three folders behind each
other.
I have looked at properties, and they both seem to be identical.

Ghost PST files are the result of improper migration of Outlook data files.
State how you did so.
Most likely, you will need to create a new Outlook profile and migrate your
data correctly this time. Before you do. it would be wise to figure out what
you did incorrectly so you won't do it again.

You can try to repair the profile. See
http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/ghosts.htm for more information. If it
fails, you'll need a new profile.
