MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / January 2007how do I resore recovered folders
I had a corrupt file. I fixed it using the scanpst now i have under a "lost folders" tab, my contacts, calendar, tasks, and notes labeled as "recovered folder" and some odd number How do I once again have these folders labeled correctly as calendar, tasks and so on? For this level of corruption I recommend either restoring from backup or start off with a new pst-file. If you indeed want to continue with this pst-file start Outlook with the /resetfolders switch. Additionally you might need to run the /resetfoldernames switch as well; Start-> Run; outlook.exe /resetfolders  SignatureRobert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more ----- >I had a corrupt file. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > tasks > and so on? I just want to have a normal Inbox, Outbox, Notes, Calendars, and other personal folders. I don't want all this "lost folders" files nonsense. How can I can I do that? I don't want the lost folders files anymore. I just want the information in there to be put into my proper places, like calendar, notes, and tasks I already provided that answer. Have you already tried the suggestions? Where do you get stuck? Once you have the normal folders again you can move the items out of "Lost Folders" and then delete the "Lost Folders" if you want to.

I don't want all this "lost folders" files nonsense. > > How can I can I do that? Hi, I did that. But it doesn't look like it did anything. I have all my folders now, including tasks, notes, and calendar, but the informatioin I want in them is still located in the lost and found in the recovered folders I guess my question is, how do I move the items out of the lost folders? I tried dragging them to the correct folders but it simply made a sub folder. for example, notes. I took the notes in the recovered folder and dragged them to notes in my personal folders. now under notes, I have a sub folder which is the recovered folder, but it has not put the information from the recovered folder into the notes folder. And your first suggestions, when you said, "start off with a new pst file." how do I do that? I know I'm probably annoying, but thank you for your time Don't move the folders but move the items. You can select multiple by holding SHIFT or CTRL when selecting or use CTRL+A. To start off with a clean pst-file choose File-> New-> Outlook Data File... and choose your storage location (like ..\My Documents\Outlook\) To set it as the default delivery location use Tools-> E-mail Accounts-> Next-> dropdownlist at the bottom of the dialog SignatureRobert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more ----- > > I guess my question is, how do I move the items out of the lost folders?
