[Running Windows XP Pro SP3, Office 2003 SP3 with all the updates]
I have just gone through the process of formatting and reinstalling Windows
on my machine. Having backed up the PST files for Outlook, I've run into a
minor glitch for which I'd be grateful for some advice.
In the old setup I had two PST files - the main Outlook.pst and Archive.pst.
I'd created a separate, manual archive for old emails and added folders for
years. When I reinstalled Outlook, I copied back both the PST files, and
the main emails, contacts and calendar were picked up, but for some reason
Outlook hasn't recognised and opened the Archive.pst folders.
Do I need to create an archive first in Outlook, then copy across the PST
file? If so, I'd be grateful for any advice, as I'm anxious that this
should be a manual process in the future, rather than automatic.
Many thanks. Hope I made sense - it's been a long day!
