contain the same data, just close the Personal Folders to remove them from your profile. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "John" wrote in message ...

Russ,
You have been a great help.....This seems to be getting more complicated as time goes on.....Here is a list of what is showing in my navigation pane... Calendar (Has my Data in it) Calendar in Mailbox - John Venables(No Data) Contacts (Has my data in it) Contacts in Mailbox - John Venables (No Data) Tasks (Has my data in it) Tasks in Mailbox - John Venables (No Data) Notes (Has my data in it) Notes in Mailbox - John Venables (No Data) My Personal Folders are Stored in C:\My Documents\Exchange\Outlook.pst which is listed under Data File Management in Folders View But I also have another PST stored in C:\my documents\Outlook.pst Which i think is the one I had added temporarily.... I cant delete this file, so outlook must be referencing it somehow. Russ, I am happy to delete everything necessary to clear this problem up including the data, as I have it all on my PDA apart from my stored emails(cant lose those) But I can resync Calendar,notes,tasks & contacts. sorry for causing all the grief, but thanks for the continued help and support Regards John -----Original Message----- Since you already said that your Exchange mailbox and Personal Folders contain the same data, just close the Personal Folders to remove them from your profile. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "John" wrote in message ...

Calendar (Has my Data in it) Calendar in Mailbox - John Venables(No Data) Contacts (Has my data in it) Contacts in Mailbox - John Venables (No Data) Tasks (Has my data in it) Tasks in Mailbox - John Venables (No Data) Notes (Has my data in it) Notes in Mailbox - John Venables (No Data) My Personal Folders are Stored in C:\My Documents\Exchange\Outlook.pst which is listed under Data File Management in Folders View But I also have another PST stored in C:\my documents\Outlook.pst Which i think is the one I had added temporarily.... I cant delete this file, so outlook must be referencing it somehow. Russ, I am happy to delete everything necessary to clear this problem up including the data, as I have it all on my PDA apart from my stored emails(cant lose those) But I can resync Calendar,notes,tasks & contacts. sorry for causing all the grief, but thanks for the continued help and support Regards John -----Original Message----- Since you already said that your Exchange mailbox and Personal Folders contain the same data, just close the Personal Folders to remove them from your profile. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "John" wrote in message ... Hi, The only thing I can think of for one of them, is the fact that I added a new datafile temporarily to look at some old email & the other one I assume is because when I installed Outlook 2003, that I linked my account to my PST file stored on my laptop... How do I go about getting rid of everything, but keep one set of contacts and calendar.....So that my PDa will sync with it.. Regards -----Original Message----- It is not necessary to have a Personal Folders file when running against Exchange, let alone 2 of them. How did those get there? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "John Venables" wrote in message ... Hi, I usually download my mail to my laptop rather than keeping it on the server... I understand I seem to have made a real mess of this, would you be able to help me set it up to tidy everything up. I sync my pda calendar, contacts & email from my outlook on my laptop to my PDA...Not sure what i need to do to sort all this... Any help would be appreciated. Regards John -----Original Message----- This is getting more troubling all the time. Apparently you are using an Exchange mailbox as your information store. Why do you also have 2 sets of Personal Folders in your Profile? Most Exchange administrators prefer not to use Personal Folders with Exchange. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote in message news:1209d01c4424f$7a5580d0 ... okay, there is quite a few folders. In order of tree listing Personal folders Mailbox - John Venables Personal Folders Public Folders Regards John -----Original Message----- Let's make sure that is the case, first. Your post is confusing. I don't know what you mean by Contacts labeled Personal Folders. Use the Folder List view (icon at the bottom of the Navigation Pane) to display your entire Folder tree. How many sets of Personal Folders (also called "Outlook Today")? How many Contact Folders? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote in message news:1203101c44246$da263ee0 ... Hi, I may have done exactly as you stated. I only have one contacts that are labelled Personal Folders. I am not sure where I went wrong... -----Original Message----- You've left out too much information for anyone to help you. Outlook does not show two Contacts Folders unless you've configured it to do so, even if you did so inadvertently. Tell us how you did this. I'm suspicious you migrated data incorrectly. How many Personal Folders Files do you have in this profile? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "John Venables" wrote in message news:113fa01c4417d$7c5ccaf0 ... Hiya, I am a new user of Outlook 2003 and am trying to figure out how to setup my contacts....The contact view shows I have 2 Contact lists under My Contacts. I have Contacts and Contacts in Personal Folders. Both of these locations have the same contacts. How do I change it so that only my contacts in personal folders are shown and also that the other one is deleted to free up space..As I am assuming I only need the one section . . . . . . . |
