Do you want to archive?

[tomfudden]

Hi there,


I'm using Outlook 2000 instead of Outlook Express. Something strange
happened with Outlook, which made all my emails disappear I have sent
over the past months.

I clicked something and I was asked: Do you want to archive? Assuming
that my emails would be archived and that I would be able to retrieve
them, I clicked Yes. And then all of my emails vanished into thin air
and I can't get them back.

Is it possible to get my emails back? And if so, how?


Thanks!


Tom

Hi there,


I'm back with the same problem with Outlook 2000, but this time on
behalf of a friend of mine. He also clicked Yes to the question Do you
want to archive? But he did not find, unlike me, his emails in the
archive.pst file.

Any idea where they could have gone to?


Thanks,


Tom

Hi rich,


Thanks again for your tip, much obliged! He could restore it with the
..pst folder from the backup copy.

Take care,

Tom

TOOLS:OPTIONS:OTHER:AUTO ARCHIVE

the path and filename of the archive file will be in a box. its
probably archive.pst but it doesn't have to be. you can also find the
archive file name by FILE: ARCHIVE.
