Where are my old emails? Branshe 5/24/2007 5:52:00 PM My Outlook 2003 would not receive incoming emails. It finally works fine but all the old emails are gone. Any suggestions on where they are and how to get them back? I see a archive.pst file and other files with .pst endings. Are those my old emails?

Re: Where are my old emails? "Tim" <tim_at_overthere.com> 5/24/2007 6:12:25 PM I'm guessing when you fixed whatever problem you were having, you managed to create a new (and empty) pst file. The "archive.pst" file contains, as the name implies, all of the archived items (e-mail, calendar appointments, etc.). Your old messages are likely in one or more of those "other files with .pst endings". I can't tell from here exactly which one is the correct one but start by looking at the date/time stamp of the pst file. The most recent one is probably the one you want (at least to start with). Use the "import" feature in Outlook (File - Import and Export) to retrieve your old messages from the pst file.
