"restoring" outlook.pst file

[Jerry C]

I sorta messed up one of the computers in the office and
I'm having trouble getting one user's Outlook file
complete "restored."

I have restored the outlook.pst file from our tape backup,
but when I open Outlook it only has the contacts and
deleted files. It doesn't have anything in the inbox (the
user knows there was 3-4 messages there) or anything in
the sent box (the user has it set to save a copy of every
sent email).

I can't figure out how to restore the inbox and sent box.
I've tried importing those folders alone, but still get
nothing.

Any help?

Jerry - this may work - have you tried going into controls
folder/mail/ and set up a new profile. Or if someone has
a Palm with mail on it you can back up that way.
