Hi,

I wonder if i could get some helps here. I know by default, outlook 2003 creates a folder called "Personal folder" for us automatically. We then add and configure a new email account for ourselves. By default, any sent items are sent to sent item folder in the Personal folder.

My question is i'd like to remove the Personal Folder altogether since i'm not using it at all. All i want to see when opening Outlook is a single email account namely the account i created or added. How do i do this?

I tried to remove Personal folder but Outlook didn't allow it saying i got to choose first an account to be the default before removing Personal Folder. This makes sense. But how do i set my account to be the default. I tried Tools - Email Accounts but to no avail.

I was hoping anyone who might have had this experiences, could share with me.

Thank you in advance
