Multiple duplicate storage folders in WLM Deshtop

When right clicking on a received email to move message to a storage folder,
I find numerous duplicate folders, which I have to scroll throught to get to
the latest folders I've created. I can only assume, that these folders were
imported from outlook express when I switched to WLM. Is there away to
eliminated the unwanted folders.

PC is running Windows XP sp3

Thanks for any suggestions

Delete them in the folder pane if they don't contain any messages of
value.

Do any of the folders in the folder pane have a > in front of them? If
so, click on it and see if there are any folders under that.

Both recovered folders had a > infront, inside each of these recovered
folders were all of the duplicated folders. I deleted both, which seems to
have fixed the problem.

If WLM finds an inconsistency between the underlying EML files that
store the actual messages and the index file, then it can put the
recovered items into the Recovered Folders

The inconsistencies can come about due to a system crash, including a
power outage, shutting down Windows without first shutting down WLM, or
some other program error.
