Sorry Milly, I probably haven't explained this properly, under All Mail
Folders window, I have Personal Folders, (created to hold my Inbox etc), and
2 lots of Archive folders which when I click on them a Pop up box appears
which says, "This set of folders could not be opened", I suspect I deleted
the pst file or something whilst I was trying to sort this out. Under
Tools - Email accounts - View or change existing accounts, the New Outlook
Data File still shows my Personal Foulders and 2 copies of Archive Folders
which I cant get rid of. Control panel - Mail - Profiles only shows Outlook,
(which I assume is my Personal Folders). I have tried a complete uninstall
and reinstall of both Outlook and Office, both of which failed to rectify
the problem.

Hope this explains it better, sorry about my ignorance.

Many thanks

Barrie
