* takes place in Outlook 2003
I transferred my office.pst file form another computer
and put it on my new computer (both computers had office
professional 2003), but it didn't save any of my "emails;
sent, received, and my specific file that I created to
organize my incoming emails (which was created in
my "personal folders column")" The only thing it appeared
to save was my calendar information. The size of the
office.pst file that I was attempting to transfer was 118
MB. I think somewhere in that file must be my emails. How
do I get them to appear on my new computer? I had already
replaced the existing file that was created by the new
office '03 that I had installed and now the current file
is my old one, but I don't have any of the email I need.

thank you for your help.


P.S.
I first imported the file, but it didn't replace my old
emails!
 
Do you still have the file on your old computer? Have you tried running
scanpst.exe against the file? First, try a new mail profile to see if
somehow the mail profile became corrupt.
