I recently lost some past e-mail that I wish I could recover from a back-up

Bruce - Thanks for the prompt response. I am using Microsoft Office Outlook
and I do not recall configuring it to save files in any particular place. The files I need were moved to a folder that was part of the "In Box". Does this help? Bruce Chambers" wrote in message ...

Thanks for any help That would depend entirely upon which specific email client application you use, and where you configured it to save its data files. Outlook saves its data in .pst files. Since we don't know what backup program you used (if any) or how your backup disk is structured, we can't possibly know where your .pst file is on the disk. Do a search for *.pst. This website will help you get the email back into your current Outlook program: http://www.slipstick.com Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ |

If you backed up to disk it would depend how you backed up, and whether you
backed up the Outlook Data Files. Whatever you try you dont restore backed up outlook data files to the default outlook data location, at least on the limited info you have given. Anyway its little to do with Vista, and should be posted, giving detailed info, to an outlook group "Eugene J." wrote in message ... Bruce - Thanks for the prompt response.
