Hey......wait a sec. Milly.......... I did respond and actually was hoping
you could help me out.  I certainly wasn't trying to blow you off???

You asked:
Define purge ........... and I said:
I had syncronized a handheld to Outlook that had a bunch of
appintments, tasks, and contacts.  Now all of those appointment are in my
Outlook calendar (along with the tasks and contacts).  Now I don't want ANY
of the calendar items, tasks, or contacts in Outlook, however I want to keep
all of my mail settings, and folders, etc.......
(i.e.- I want to PURGE all of my tasks, contacts, and calendar appointments).

You asked:
What version of Outlook..... and I said:
Outlook 2003 (11.5608.5606)

You asked:
All of Outlook? Specific folders?......and I said:
Basically I'm bagging the whole scheduling, tasks, and contacts idea from
Outlook and going back to my Palm Desktop (but keeping the e-mail side of
Outlook).
(i.e.- I want to get rid of ALL of my tasks, contacts, and calendar
appointments while keeping ALL e-mail and e-mail folders).

Sorry.......... maybe I am just not understanding because I'm fairly new to
Outlook.  I hope you can help me work through this.

Will renaming your outlook.pst to outlook.old screw any of my mail settings
or preferences up............if not:  How exactly do I do this?

Thanks again,

Syno

and what version of Outlook?  All of Outlook? Specific folders?
