MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / May 2007Exchange Server - PST Calendar
My company uses Outlook 2003 on an Exchange Server. I am running in Cached Exchange Mode. I have a PST file for email messages, so I can manage my Exchange Mailbox file size. The PST file has email folders and a contacts folder, which I use. My problem is that a Calendar, Journal and Task folders keep appearing in the PST file, despite my having deleted them on more than one occasion. Is there any way to get rid of these folders in my PST file? No, you cannot delete default folders from your mail store.  SignatureMilly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. All unsolicited mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without reading.

If your delivery location is the Exchange mailbox, then there are two reasons I can postulate for why a complete set of default folders would appear in a PST you've created. The first reason is that at some point you made it the delivery location, which will cause Outlook to populate it with all the default folders. However, since you say you can delete them, this can't be what has happened. The other alternative is that you have this PST defined to be an archive PST in autoarchive, either on the global level, or in the properties of one or more folders, and you have autoarchiving enabled. This will cause Outlook periodically (i.e., when autoarchive runs) to create folders in which it will store archived messages, even if no messages are eligible for archiving at the time. Those folders you should be able to delete. SignatureBrian Tillman Excellent tip. That was indeed the case, I had Autoarchiving set to go to this PST file. I have modified it and will test to make sure the calendar folder does not re-appear. Thanks. > > My company uses Outlook 2003 on an Exchange Server. I am running in > > Cached Exchange Mode.

We have an enduser who has a personal folder where she has created multiple subfolders to use when sorting her emails. There are also Tasks, Contacts, Notes, and Calendar folders showing in this personal folder. She does not want the Calendar folder listed. When she does a right-mouse click the "delete" option is grayed out. How can we get rid of the calendar folder for her? > > Excellent tip.

This is a sign that the PST has been used at some point as the delivery location because Outlook creates all the default folders and makes them undeletable. The only way around this is to make sure the Exchange mailbox is the delivery locaiton, create a new PST, move to it those folders from the old PST that you want to be there. Then close the old PST.
