Hello, Gurus out there.

I had to re-install Windows XP (Pro) on my PC, and then all of my applications, including Outlook 2002.

I still have the old User Profile directories from before the crash, but simply copying the Outlook folders into the new profile didn't get my old E-Mail back.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks,

Seumas.

The email is kept in a .pst file. Hopefully you have a backup of it. If so then go to start, control panel and click on the mail icon. Click on data files. Click add and go to where the .pst file is located.

good luck.

I found the file and successfully opened it.
(Before I read your response, but still much appreciated!)
Thanks.
