MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / September 2004distriubtion list
I had to reinstall windows (repair install) and I lost my distribution lists. I did save the .pst file, but I still can't find my contacts or the email addresses of previous sent emails. Only a partial list of my sent emails was retrieved. I think that all of my files are somewhere on my computer, I just don't know how to find them. Please help. Thanks. Penny4 Open the PST file you saved. If indeed you saved a copy of your previous PST, the information would all be there.

I was able to retrieve my inbox using this method. Thanks. But, I still am missing 3 months of my sent emails and my address book. I also do have a file called backup.pst, but it didn't seem to help either. Any other suggestions? >-----Original Message----- >No. [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > >. You must not be opening the correct PST file, then. Are you sure you saved the correct PST file? If so, how? If you were opening your previous PST file, all Outlook data would be there.

Exporting is not the way to back up a PST. You'll only have the data you chose to export. You should just copy and reuse the PST, not export it, if you want to keep all the data intact.
