I am rebuilding my HD after a registry corruption problem.  Before rebuilding
the HD, I had three files; a live file on the server, a personal mail file,
and an archive file.  I lost the connection to me archive and personal file
folders before the last backup which is about a week old, but I have the osm
files.  I also have a very old backup that has the configuration settings
that were in place before they got corrupted, but the data is old.  I can
recover individual files from the backups.  If I recover the osm files and
some other files to establish ownership of the files, can I reattach them to
mu current mail folders?

Thanks

If the OSM file was created by connecting to a Windows Live Hotmail account,
there is no need to "recover" it because Outlook will recreate it based on
the contents of the Hotmail server.  Recover your PSTs and point your new
mail profile at them.  See
