Outlook 2003 muliple folders in user mailbox

I have a user who has outlook 2003 running on her lt. 1 profile 2 POP accts going to a personal folder. She added the corp acct but instead of mailbox was going to a personal folder. Had her change it but she messed it up, she re-added the acct but now in her mailbox. She has 2 contacts, 2 calenders, 2 journals, etc. Whe she uses the corp OWA ver. she has the same problem. Anyone know how to delete the extra folders?? Help

Do the duplicate folders also have the exact same contents? If not, then you could just try deleting one of each in Outlook. It won't usually let you delete the Inbox, etc., but it might let you delete the copy. If they really are actually completely duplicated (i.e. same items in each copy of each folder), then I would think that the mailbox is so screwed that it needs deleting and recreating.

You might also try running Outlook with the /resetfolder switch from the CMD prompt.

Sembee,

I am quite willing to follow the rules. Would you show me where the rule which forbid copy and paste from another site? When Crazyone was posting quite a bit, he always posted the text from the link. I am following only what he did. My understanding is that as general copyright protection, you include a link if you quote from another site.
