Personal Folders
I had to have my computer reformatted and I e-installed Office 2007. I now
have 2 personal folders in addition to a folder for each one of my e-mail addresses. I have tried to get back to my previos format by uninstalling and reinstalling Outlook but it immediately puts all the same folders without even having to do an import. How do I consolidate all these folders? |

Personal Folders
Depends whether these Personal Folders are mirror images of each other or
contain differing data "mattiegirl1" wrote in message ... I had to have my computer reformatted and I e-installed Office 2007.

Personal Folders
They're not images--there are different things in every folder. The last
folder (a personal folder) has all the my imported information in it. The first personal folder had nothing in it unless I dragged something from another folder. Previously, all my e-mail would go to one inbox no matter what address it was sent to and now every address has it's own folder with subfolders. I foulnd directions that said highlight the folder, click Edit and Delete. Delete is not an option. I'm sure the answer is obvious, but I can't find it.

Personal Folders
If you formatted your PC then reinstalled win and Programs, then you /
someone must have done something more in the setting up of Outlook. If the accounts are all pop accounts then there will only be a single default set of Personal Folders If the accounts include Imap accounts then there will be seperate sets of Personal Folders If Exchange is involved, then thats a whole new ball game "mattiegirl1" wrote in message news They're not images--there are different things in every folder.

If you're using a POP account, then make the PST containing your data the delivery location. Use either the Mail applet in Control Panel (the Data Files) button or ToolsAccount SettingsData Files to specify the PST containing your data as the default PST.. If you do this from within Outlook, stop and restart Outlook. If you do it with the Mail applet, then next time Outlook starts, it should be correct. Then close the unused PST so it no longer appears in the Navigation Pane. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
