Archive folders

[George Del Monte]

Prior to re-formatting my hard drive, my Outlook 98 displayed - in the File
List - the Archive folders above the Personal folders, so it was easy to
perform maintenance within the Archive folders. Immediately prior to the
re-format, an unknown problem corrupted the backups of my *.PST files, so
that a large number of messages were not recoverable. Now, even though I
have been able to Import a few messages from the archive.pst file, the
quantity of recovered messages cannot possibly account for the 23,728 KB
size of the archive.pst file. I do not know how to display the archive
folders (visible only during the Import activity) so that, once again, I can
perform maintenance within them. Any help?

Thanks for the tip. It worked and now I can see that the corruption that
occurred probably accounts for the large file size, which surely contains
inaccessible messages.
