Outlook my email and contacts files
I have installed a new hard drive and re-installed the
operating system. Next I copied specific files from a backup onto the new hard drive. The PST files that I had previously setup for 3 different email accounts were restored in two places: 1.) Documents & Settings\John\Microsoft\Outlook\Personal, Business, General folders. 2.) Documents & Settings\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\several email storage folders. So far, I have not been able to get Outlook to recognize any of my folders except the original defaults. Can you suggest a method for adding those other existing folders to my email and contacts lists? |

Outlook my email and contacts files
Have you tried using File-Open-Outlook Data Files and then navigating to
the .pst files you saved? -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact. Due to the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal account will be deleted without reading.
