Using Outlook 2003, WinXP SP2. This probably occurred by me trying to add
an Exchange connection to my existing profile, see my other posting
"Exchange in Same Profile with POP and MSN".

Now when I go to TOOLS / Email Accounts, under "Deliver new e-mail to the
following location", I see my 2 main OST files and a blank entry. How can I
get rid of the blank entry. I believe it may also be related to a root
level Mail folder that shows up in Outlook in my folder list with no title,
just the icon. Doesn't appear to be inside my 2 OST files since the icon is
at the root level, how can I correct this.

If I right click on the icon in the menu I see "CLOSE <02#25?>", obviously
some corruption. When I try to close it I see "You cannot close the mailbox
that contains your calendar, contacts, and inbox." I would suspect this was
created when I tried to create an Exchange connection in my folder list. I
guess an Exchange connection has to have it's own Profile (i.e. CONTROL
PANEL / MAIL...) ??? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
