OL2000: (CW) How to Back Up, Restore, or Move Outlook Data

Leopold

Here is a visual way of doing this.
Rather then importing the file you can take the following steps to open the file into Outlook and then selectively or all together move messages back to the Mailbox inbox, etc..
With Outlook started:

1. Clickon - FILE - OPEN - PERSONAL FOLDERS FILE...

2. Browse and select the *.pst file in question. The Personal Folder file will open above or below the Mailbox folder.

NOTE: Depending on the folders you have in the PST file you may end up with two inboxes, etc...

3. Drag and drop messages between the PST and Mailbox folders as needed.

NOTE: You can select all of the messages within a folder by performing the "Ctrl" + "A" keyboard shortcut for select all then dragging the messages to the desired destination.

4. When all of the messages are move over you can close and restart outlook to unload the PST file and then (if absolutely sure) delete the PST file.

NOTE: There are more than one ways to accomplish this but this seemsto be the easiest to follow.
