Configuring for Hotmail

I was able to configure Outlook 2002 for use with Hotmail, but now there are three folders that show up in Outlook; Hotmail and two Personal folders. The Hotmail folder works fine, however it is missing the Calendar. One of the Personal folders only lists these four subfolders; Deleted, Inbox, Outbox and Sent. When I attempt to open the second Personal folder I get a message that says "Unable to display the folder. Microsoft Outlook could not access the specified folder location. Item could not be found."

I would like to have only one folder called Hotmail that also has the Calendar. If this is not possible then maybe a second folder that has all the default Outlook folders. Also, how do I get rid of the second Personal folder that responds with the error message? Thank you in advance.
 
The easiest way to fix it is to make a new profile... but you can try File,
Data management and removing the one that only has the 4 folders. If the
other personal folder won't open, remove it and add it back

You'll need the hotmail folder and one personal folder.

I have a similar problem I am using Outlook 2003 with Windows XP home edition. My internet provide
is MSN (through Qwest DSL)

My problem is that I have two inboxes and only want one. At the very least
I would like Outlook to open with the correct one that has the new message
in it

One of the inboxes is listed under "Personal Folders". The other is liste
under "MSN" which is my email account. The inbox under Personal Folders i
completely useless. It isn't the one for my email account and it never ha
any messages in it. All new messages go to the inbox under MSN

Is there a way I can set the inbox under Personal Folders as the defaul
inbox that should receive my messages from my MSN account? Barring that
can I delete the Personal Folders and use only the MSN stuff

Thanks

John
