Adrien when you are in the treeview of Outlook, cursor down to any folder you wish to remove. Highlight the folder then use the right windows applications key to pull down another menu. Within these options is one to remove folder. The folders will be deleted to the deleted items folder, so hit Alt T, then hit the letter Y and your deleted items will be cleared. As to accounts? You go to Tools with alt plus T, then cursor down to email accounts or hit Alt A. Its in this section that you are given an option to remove an account. Once you have your Outlook all configured, save your PST file and use only that one from now on. Do you save a copy of your pst file on a disc?

I have tried to remove these by moving the pst files from the outlook folder in documents and settings but outlook is still looking for them when it starts up. How do I remove all references to the old accounts? It's confusing having these extra accounts. I think the accounts are no longer in the e-mail accounts list, just the data files.
