I have two peersonal folders with different names. (Personal Folders &
Personal Folders5). In Personal Folders I have all my mail items. In Personal
Folders5 I have my Calendar and Contacts. If I try and send an e-mail and
click on "To" it can't find my Contacts. I have to go to Contacts, click on
Personal Folders5, right-click a recipient, and select "New Message to
Contact." How can I get back to just one "Personal Folders"?
 
Create a new mail profile - yours is now corrupt - probably from importing
rather than opening a .pst file. Control Panel->Mail Icon->Show
Profiles->New. Do not copy your old one. Point it to the data file that
has your current information.

Thank you for your reply. I did create a new Profile. If through Control
Panel>Mail Icon>Show Profile> I can select "Prompt for profile to be used" or
"always use this profile." In the reply box below I have two profiles to
choose from: "Outlook" (my old profile) or "BillsMail" (my new profile). If I
choose "BillsMail" and launch Microsoft Office Outlook -- I come up ok but
there is nothing in my calendar, contacts, inbox, etc. How do I
transfer/move/copy the material from the old profiles: Personal Folders and
Personal Folders5?

You can open either or both of the old .PST files in Outlook using File |
Open | Outlook Data File, then either tell Outlook to use one of the files
as your default, or drag and drop items from your old file(s) to the new
one.
