open a closed Personal Folder in Outlook

C

I closed a Personal Folder in Outlook by right-clicking it, then clicking on
"Close Personal Folder". Now I can't find it to re-open it. Where would it
be please, and how can I re-open it so that it appears on my folders list?
Thanks.

Ww have no idea where it would be. It's right where it was before.
Search for *.pst. Use File > Open to open it.

Be sure you search for Hidden/System files if your operating system is
either Windows 2000 or Windows XP. PST files are set Hidden by both
systems, so a search won't find them unless it's set to look for Hidden/
System files.

I have also closed 2 folders, by Right clicking and selecting close folder.
Now I a can see neither. I have searched hidden files and folders for *pst,
and can see the one that is current. But my folders are still missing.

Click to expand...

Then open them again with File>Open>Outlook Data File.
