Hard to say without any configuration info.
Also define what you mean with "corrupted" as I believe that is what you
really want to solve instead of a solution to your workaround.

What exactly do you need? I have XP and Outlook 2007. This has been an
ongoing problem and I tried, unsucessfully to resolve the corrupted problem
but could not so Palm walked me through the process of creating a duplicate
calander and contact list. I just want to "clean up" the program. The new
lists are working perfectly. Any help you can provide would be great. Thanks,
david

I still don't get what you mean with the "corrupted lists". What kind of
issues have you with it then?
You cannot delete the default Calendar and Contacts folders. Looks like Palm
support pulled a shortcut on you.

It did not sync for some reason and they could not do it so they created new
folders. So, is it possible to delete only Outlook and then re-install
Outlook and then re-sync with my palm to add everything back in? or do you
think I should stay with what I have now.

Reinstalling won't help you one bit here.
The solution is that you can use the default folders again.
Scan your pst-file for errors with scanpst.exe.
Then start Outlook with the /resetfolders switch. Then close Outlook and
start it with the /resetfoldernames switch.
Now see if your sync with the default folder works again.

If it is not too much trouble, could you do a step-by-step as I am unsure
what you mean or how to scan the pst files for errors. Thanks
