Board index » Outlook » Outlook 2002 - Messages & Folders Missing

Outlook653
Having run Outlook 2002 with no problems for around 18 months, this morning

I find that all my messages and folders have disappeared for no apparent

reason. I've run the Office detect and repair utility, but no success.



I'd be extremely grateful of any advice to resolve this problem.



Thanks in advance,



Chris

Search your harddisk for *.pst. Make sure you include hidden files and

folders. Then in Outlook connect to it by File->Open->Outlook Data File...

Rob,



I can find the file, but opening as suggested doesn't appear to solve the

problem.



Is there anything else I should be doing?

How many pst-files did you find? If these pst-files do not contain the data

you were looking for the data is gone.

Rob,



I have an Office Data File , 39,520 kb, in my local settings\application

data\microsoft\outlook folder. There is also a 48kb archive folder. I'm

assuming the larger file is the one I need.

Rob,



I've just sorted it, somehow the view settings had changed. Thanks for your

help.

Alright, good to hear you've got it solved! :-)



(I do wonder how a View made you unable to see the folders though...)
