I recently had to reinstall Outlook 2007 after a computer system restore.
Outlook now lists Archive Folders (and sub folders) in the left column under
All Mail Items and all previous data I was able to import are now listed in
folders under Archive Folders, including INBOX, Sent Items, Deleted Items,
Saved Email, etc. There is no "Personal Folders" folder in the left column
under "All Mail Items". How can I correct this? I would like to move all the
subfolders currently under Archive Folders to a newly created "Personal
Folders" in the "All Mail Items" column.
 
if you create a new appointment or contact, where do it go - into the
appropriate folder in the Archive? If so, that is set as default and you
need to add a new pst using File, New, Outlook data file (or open your old
pst using the file, open... ) then set the pst you added as default.
Anything you want in the default pst will need to be moved to it.

Everything in Outlook seems to be working normally except that all mail is
stored under Archive Folders.which is listed under "All Mail Items." My
email subfolders: Inbox, Seent Mai, Delete Items, Drafts, etc. are listed
under Archive Folders. There is no "Personal Folders" and I can't seem to
create a Personal Folders in the "All Mail Items" into which I could move
the subfolders currently under Archive Folders where. my emails are saved in
the appropriate folder (mostly in Deleted Items). Also, where does one
designate default folders?
Thanks for the help.

Click Tools>Account Settings and select the Data Files tab. It sounds like
you have the Archive PST set as default. If so, select your other PST and
choose Set as Default. Close and reopen Outlook.
