I had 3 Outlook Today Personal folders listed in my Personal folders box. I
have no Idea how that happened. It seems that every time I imported a back
up from my zip drive it created a new personal folder. I didn't think I need
the first two any longer so I right clicked on them and closed the first two
folers. It is apparent now that I do need them as I can't open attached
documents to e-mails that were originally in one of those folders. How do I
get those folders back?
 
If the personal folders were only closed you should be able to re-add them
to Outlook. If you are on Outlook 2002 or 2003 this would be done by going
to Tools - Data File Management - click on Add. If previous versions click
on Tools - Services - Personal Folders - Add.

You will need to know the location of where the personal folder is located.
Typically when adding the personal folder it will take you to the default
location. However if it does not you could do a search for *.pst files on
your local system. Remember these are hidden files so you would need to
select to search for those as well.
