How Open OST files

[Roberto Carabajal]

Hello:

After reinstalling Windows and Office 2003, I tried to open my mails, and
find 2 files related : archive.pst and outlook.ost. The first is really small
and contains few mails. I suppose the second file stores the rest of the
information, but I can´t find the way to say Outlook to open it. Please, I
would appreciate anybody can help me.
My best regards.
Roberto

ost is for Exchange server, not pop mail

If you re-did your computer, you broke the SID that Outlook had to the Exchange server rendering your .ost an orphan. Reconnect to Exchange and resync Outlook to create a new .ost file. Your old one is pretty much useless.

But I have many folders with archived data, I think there were in local mode
because the server lets us only a limited space, so, Where are those mails ?
