Reconstructing Mail Accounts and Inbox

[BudV]

I'm running OL2003 SP3 under WinXP Home SP3.

Ordinarily, I can depend on ABF's Outlook Backup software, but something
went wrong this time and the Restore did not restore my mail accounts or my
Inbox, but I'm not looking for help with the ABF package.

I have my current inbox at msn.com, so I should be able to get those into
my local Inbox (How?). Unfortunately, I don't have any mail accounts, and I
don't remember the peculiarities about MSN mail accounts: Names for MSN's
IMAP and SMTP servers, port numbers, the whole shmear.

Can someone hold my hand? I'll keep a file on all this stuff for next
time.

The server names should be in the help files at msn or you can use the
outlook connector.

There is a God, and her name is Diane. Outlook Connector did just fine,
thank you.

Any chance you can lend a helping hand on my other post:

Subject: Copying Contacts from OL2007 Vista to OL2003 XP
Date: Tuesday, August 11, 2009 4:24 PM

I want to experiment with different printed formats for my daughter's
Contacts.
She has OL2007 under Vista Home Premium SP1 and I have OL2003 Home SP3.

I exported her Contacts to a .pst file and a tab-separated .txt file and
emailed them to me.
Trying to digest the .txt file proved to be complicated and frustrating; but
when I tried to save the .pst attachment it was blocked by OL.

Can you help me get access to that file, or better yet, tell me what I
should have done to get her contacts into my machine?
