getting back old outlook emails
A colleague of mine recently reinstalled his Outlook 2003. He found that all
his original Outlook inbox was replaced by emails that were in his outlook express. Can some one be kind enough to provide some guidance on how he may be able to get those old mail folders back? Could the old folders possibly be under C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook? Thanx!

getting back old outlook emails
Hi Randy:
Thanks for the reply - that isn't working - he tried to import "Outlook" that was 1.2Gig and it didn't do anything. Any other suggestions? Thanx!

I never said to import. I said that was probably the cause of the
duplication. Importing 1.2GB will sure do something but it's going to take a very long time.

Sorry for the confusion - we also tried the File-Open- but it didn't seem
to do anything. Any other suggestions? Thanx! "Roady [MVP]" wrote: I never said to import. I said that was probably the cause of the duplication.
