OK...I just got a new computer and I have installed the beta of Office 2003
on it....and I wanted to move all my Outlook 2002 mail and folders from my
old machine to my new machine so I could use them in Outlook 2003...so this
is what I did:

I copied my outlook.pst file from Outlook 2002 to a shared folder, then I
copied it from there (over my network) to my new computer and put it in the
default location for my outlook.pst file...I deleted the outlook.pst that
was installed with Outlook 2003 and replaced it with my Outlook 2002 pst
file....now, when I open Outlook 2003, I have all my stuff THREE TIMES...I
have a main folder called "Linda" (not called Outlook Today-[Linda] like it
is called in Outlook 2002), then I have another folder called Linda which
includes ALL of the same stuff....then I have a third folder called Personal
Folders which also includes ALL of the same stuff.....when I go into the
properties of these folders, they are all the same pst file, but it is
showing three times...."close" is grayed out on all of them so I can't get
rid of them....now, I would know how to fix this if it was three individual
pst files, but it's not...it's one pst file showing three times!  

Is there anyway I can fix this? I've tried deleting the pst file and
bringing it in again and I still get three....is anyone else in here running
Outlook 2003 and can you tell me how I can correctly get my Outlook 2002 pst
file into Outlook 2003 without all this duplication?
