Hi,
I am in deep trouble to say the least.
Today when I did a backup on my computer I made at the same time a backup of
my Outlook mail (that is what I thought anyway).
Therefore afterwards I did the most stupid thing by deleting from the hard
drive the 1.6 GB archive-file (.pst) that consisted of my Outlook personal
folder including archived e-mails. But my archive file hadn’t been saved as I
had thought and I had also removed it from the trash bin (emptied the bin).
I then directly downloaded a freeware in hope to recover my deleted
..pst-file. Within a little while I had succeeded to find it and restore it.
But when I was to import it into Outlook the program told me it was broken
why I ran the SCANPST.EXE program that comes with Outlook. It “repaired†the
file and I could now import it into Outlook.
But now I can only see the map structure in where all the many e-mails
should be in but where they aren’t.
I believe (or am convinced) that the e-mails must be in the 1.6 GB .pst-file
somewhere. There is nothing else that takes so much space. Probably the file
has been damaged so the e-mails “can’t be foundâ€.
My question to you is, how do I get my e-mails back from that file or rather
what can I do to open the file letting Outlook find the e-mails? As I wrote,
they must be in there somewhere.
If somebody has come across this problem before or could help me in any way
I will be most grateful!
Thanks,
Carl
