911! Outlook Restoration

[Michelle]

Preface: Had to take computer to doctor. Backed up entire
hard drive. Got computer back and restored hard drive -
had to re-install MS Office applications.

Problem: How do I restore all of my email, addresses,
folders and sent items. Is this possible or do I have to
rebuild everything?

I know what you're going to ask first, and NO, I did not
export anything. Just backed up my system. I have been
able to restore everything and all data, but this.

Hi Michelle,
you have to import all your files.
If you could read german look at this, otherwise follow the next steps

1.. 1.. Open the application MS Outlook.

2.. Select the menu command: File | Import and Export...

3.. Select: Import from other program or file.

4.. In the next dialogue, select: file of personal folders (.pst).

5.. Now you need to indicate the complete path for your old
*.pst.message file

6.. Next, indicate the folder into which you want to import the
messages.

7.. If you have several *.pst files, repeat this procedure for each of
them.

Once MS Outlook has imported your old messages, these messages also become
accessible for reading and searching in MailNavigator.
