Here is a great question for someone. I am using Microsoft Outlook 2003.
Somehow I ended up with 4 personal folders. I do not know how this happened.
Well, I recently bought a new hard drive and reinstalled Outlook. I had a
backup of the .pst file for everything in my inbox and subfolders which I

If you have multiple Personal Foders that are ghosts of a single personal
folder, then you have corrupted your mail Profile, use the mail applet in
the control panel to create a new profile, add the data file & configure
your accounts
