Hello,
I just had to reformat my laptop HD. Before doing so, I backed up everything to an external HD. This included my Outlook 2003 data (.pst) file which I found at Outlook > File > Data File Management > Outlook Data Files > Open Folder... (or C:\Documents and Settings\Steve\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook).
After reformatting, I reinstalled MS Office 2003 which of course includes Outlook 2003.
Now, to put my backed up .pst file back in place, can I just navigate back to the same folder, delete the new .pst file that's there from the install and copy/paste the backed up .pst file? Will that restore all my folders and subfolders and contents the way they were? Is it that simple or do I need to go through an Import process or something like that?
Thanks,
Steve
Tools - E-mail Accounts - Next, to set the pst file.
Or you could delete (rename) the new mt one and copy the old on there and rename to whatever Outlook named the one it's using...
Hope this helps
