    How to remove duplicate pst folders in Outlook 2003


    Have noticed that I have 2 outlook.pst folders as in this jpg: outlook2folders.jpg
    How do I get rid of the duplicate outlook.pst folder in the above jpg ?

    Found link on MS site on this...BUT...I get the attached jpg errors when following directions: outlook2folders2.jpg

    Found a registry edit to fix this but not for Win 7 Pro 64bit apparently ?

    Running Windows 7 Pro 64bit with Office 2003 (Outlook)

    Thanks...TR

    Try this pal

    Close Outlook
    Goto "Control panel" "mail" "data files"

    You will see the 2 pst files (personal folders) select the one you don't want then click "remove"

    We've run into that where I work. Our only work-around is to create a new mail profile. Instead of clicking on Data Files, click on Show Profiles, then click Add and enter the appropriate information.
