Hi, i formatted my computer and backed up everything, problem is i
reinstalled office and when i opened up office outlook 2003, first of all it
created a new personal folder, then i added my old personal folder but i cant
get rid of the other personal folder that it created upon start up, not only
that but now it downloads any new mail to the personal folder i dont use and
not my old one,

also, i dont have my old contacts, is it in a seperate file? if so whats
the extention so i can search for it,

thanks

Make the old PST your delivery location, if that's where you want messages
delivered.

They're not in a separate file. They're right there in your Contacts folder
where they belong, aren't they?

Tools>E-mail Accounts>Next. Change the "Deliver new e-mail to the following
location" cdrop-down to point to the PST you want to use. Stop and restart
Outlook.

Then you did something to your old PST because it contained them before you
changed things. Since we weren't watching, these's no way to tell what that
was.
