Email Backup Problem

[James]

I have used the Outlook Backup tool to backup my email so
that when my hard drive has been formatted and a fresh
install done, I can retrieve my email messages, Contacts,
etc. What has happened is that the backup files are in
the Personal Folders and I cannot get them into the In
Box, thereby being able to properly send mail, etc. Any
suggestions on how to move that info over?

Thanks,
James

What would that have to do with the ability to send email?
Just open the backup folder in Outlook and copy what you want into your
current installation.
