folder renamed now can't find the pst

D

deb

how can I find the correct outlook PST?

The PST is named differently than the outlook archive folder name.

I did a bad thing and remaned the folder in the "All Mail Folders" view.

Now I need to open that archive but since the names are different I cannot
find the correct pst.

A PST is not a "folder". If you renamed the root of the Archive PST as
displayed in "All Mail Folders", that won't arrect the file name as seen in
Windows Explorer. The Navigation display and the file name do not have to
match. How did you do the renaming, from within Outlook or with Windows
Explorer?

deb

When I rt click on the folder in the "All Mail Folders" view, it cannot
locate the pst. It dropped the link somehow. I am trying to find which pst
this folder belongs to.

I am unable to see which pst this folder is located in because I cannot view
the properties and see the file and path.

any suggestions on how to find out which pst a folder belongs to if you are
unable to view the properties?

Again, you have failed to describe exactly what you did. Tell us exactly what
you clicked or typed to cause the problem and in which application and we may
be able to help.

deb

I created a pst file named abc with the folder name of abc
I changed the folder name to xyz via "All Mail Folders" .


for some reason the link to the PST is no longer accessable.
I tried to click the properties to get the location of the pst. It says pst
cannot be found. There fore I do not know the name of the pst since the name
showing in the "All Mail Folders" is now different than the pst.
