I like using Outlook because everything is there one may ever need - except
my favorite font. However, searching the instructions to use it is very time
consuming -and time is not something most people have a lot of. If you would
put all the instructions in one place like it is in Outlook Express - in
HELP, it would save business owners like myself a lot of time. Also, it
would be great if you would put "How to setup Outlook" in one place. Not
everyone knows the correct procedure to set up Outlook. To be able to
efficiently use this great email tool would increase the number of people
that use it because it will send productivity through the roof.

I realize Outlook is a hugh program but it will help if at least the basics
are somewhere on the help menu. All of us don't have the time to take a
computer course.

This message is for anyone who can help me find my autoarchived messages.
The file was created but continues to be empty. I use Outlook 2003. I don't
have delete the files checked and the file folder seems to be the correct one
- it is the default folder. This is a business and I need access to my mail.
I don't have time to figure out where it is going.

HELP!!!!!!
 
Search for all .pst files, and include hidden files.

Hi Milly;

Do I search using the Advanced Find? What are the search terms? Where do I
find "include hidden files"? I am lost. Thanks for your help. Theresa
 
Use the advanced option in Windows search and include all hidden files and
folders - search for *.pst. How many do you find?

I followed the instructions you gave but when I double clicked on the archive
file, it still came up empty. It went to my file folder named "Archive
Folder".

The Archive folder should have its own "tree" with a little + sign next to
it. Expand the + and see if your items are in it.
