Restore a few Personal Folders

B

Bob Simon

Outlook 2003.
I accidentally deleted a few personal folders. I have a backup of my
outlook.pst file. Is it possible to just import two or three folders
and none of the others?

Not sure about specifics with regard 2003 import, however assuming backup
pst is on the hd, read only is off. You can simply open this pst, then
copy/move items to current pst.

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that Outlook will allow me
to have two message stores open at the same time? If this is correct,
how does it display the two stores?

you can open multiple Personal folder files. Y uwill see them all listed and
jsut need to copy items to your default PST which is also your mail delivery
(usually).

Depending on number of pst's and size there may be a performance hit, but
thats all.
