Re: multiple personal and archive folders

Tried what you said but you must be seeing something different as there was
no way i could delete the empty contacts folder doing what you suggested.
What i noticed was that the empty contacts folder context menu had the
delete option greyed out but the second contacts folder with all my contacts
didn't so i just cut and pasted all my contacts to the empty folder and
deleted the other, so far so good it seems to have worked.

Cheers
