Look at your Send/Receive button dropdown.

| Hi Tim, DL and others...
|
| Just popping back to let you all know that your advice worked soundly
| and
| that the backup procedure has all gone well.
|
| I am now using Microsoft Outlook 2007 for my email and all is working
| well.
|
| Another query, though - In Outlook Express, there is an ability to
| just “Send†an email, just to “Receiveâ€Â, or to “Send and
| Receive Allâ€Â
|
| Can this be set up in Outlook by a setting or Registry tweak as
| sometimes I only like to just send or receive, but not both.
|
| Outlook 2007 only has “Send/Receive All†and “Send Allâ€Â. Can
| I not just receive email in Outlook 2007 like Outlook Express?
|
| Can anyone help, please?
|
| Thanks for your help - all responses gratefully received.
|
| Regards

||| |||| I believe what DL is telling you is this:
||||
|||| From Outlook, click on Tools and then Account Settings. Go to the
|||| Data Files tab and click on Add. Browse for your PST backup file
|||| and click on OK to add it to Outlook.
||||
|||| Now, your backup PST file folders should appear in the left
|||| portion of the Outlook window. You can then copy any/all messages
|||| from your backup folders to your "main" inbox.
||||
|||| When you are done, you can either leave the backup PST folders
|||| alone or you can go back to Tools - Account Settings - Data Files
|||| and remove the backup PST entry.
||||
|||| It does not matter if you have Personal Folders Backup installed
|||| or not. But it's a good thing to regularly backup your PST file in
|||| case of file corruption. You shold also copy it somewhere other
|||| than your PC in case your disk drive crashes.
||||
|||| Hope that helps.

|||| ||||| Hi DL
|||||
||||| Many thanks for your reply - as I have not used Outlook before
||||| today for any
||||| of my emails, please could you clarify what you mean by your
||||| responses.
|||||
||||| What do you mean by "If necessary copy data to the default file,
||||| but you can
||||| leave this data file open."
|||||
||||| What would the default file be? Please let me know - I will try
||||| your steps and will post back in due course as to how I get on.

|||||| ||||||| Hi all

|||||||
||||||| In other words, how do I go about restoring my backed up emails

||||||| Outlook 2007?
|||||||
||||||| Does it matter if the "Personal Folders Backup" programme is

||||||| not? - is it needed or not?
|||||||
||||||| Please advise me of the best method to use.
