I deleted a Microsoft Exchange account since the server had been down for two
years - now my folders have disappeared. I have several email accounts in
Outlook 2003 that I had used with these folders. How do I restore these
folders - thanks in advance.
 
You need to restore the exchange account and export the contents of the
folder to a pst then delete the account. The only way to do that is by
using system restore since the server is not accessible.
 
thanks for the quick response. can you point me in the direction of the
system restore - i don't know the particulars of the old exchange account.
thanks,
 
That would be an XP/Vista system restore; for XP,
'Programs|Accessories|System Tools|System Restore'. You need to restore the
system to a date prior to when you removed the Exchange account.

Start menu, Programs, Accessories, System tools. Follow the instructions on
the system restore wizard - it will only take care of it if there is a
restore point from before you deleted the account. If no restore point
exists, you'll need to buy a program that converts the ost to a pst.
