MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008Restoring Outlook 2003
Hi, I recently had to reinstall Windows XP Pro and Office 2003. I'd backed up my PST file and I restored my e-mail messages with no problems. I've been unable, however, to restore my Tasks, e-mail addresses and Rules. Please could someone tell me how to do this? Thanks, Joe Sounds you didn't use the the proper method to restore your pst-file. The correct method is to connect to your pst-file via File-> Open-> Outlook Data File... and then set it as your default delivery location.

Did you overwrite the new pst file created when you re-installed with the old one? Create a new mail profile (Start-Control Panel-Mail-Show Profiles-Add)and point it at the old pst. If you added the origonal data file via the mail applet in the control panel, or via Outlook>File>Open>Data File all data will be there You may have to configure Contacts to use as an address book If by email addressess you are refering to the autocomplete they are contained in a seperate file, the .nk2 file > That is how I restored the file, but my tasks and e-mail addresses and > still missing.
