How do I import mail files in .pst form?

[laxdudeee]

I recently saved my mail files because I was re-formatting and I cannot seem
to import them back in. I saved them as a .pst file and cannot recover them.
Any tips would be appreciated, Thanks

Hi, laxdudeee,

What have you tried? File | Open File?

What version of Outlook?

Do you get an error message?

1. If the file is on a CD, copy it to the hard drive and remove the
read-only check mark from its properties.
2. NEVER import a native Outlook file unless you don't care about your
data. Use File->Open->Outlook Data File (Outlook 2002 and later) or
Personal Folders File (Outlook 2000 and prior).
