269miles Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I've saved a load of stuff into a personal folder in Outlook which I was accessing just a few minutes ago. I've gone back to chack for an email and noticed the folder is no longer ther (severe panic setting in). Any suggestions for how to find it/restore it ? Edit : Mods please move to the IT sticky.

jamb0_1874 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Do a search, including hidden system files for *.pst that should find the archive of your outlook personal folders. Once you have found that file you can just go to File - Import & export and import the file back into outlook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsmak Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 http://www.ehow.com/how_4436099_computer-earlier-date-restore-point.html Would this help ? Don't do this yet. Sounds like you have accidentally moved it into another folder.. This is easily done if you hold the left mouse button on it for too long, it works the same as moving an e-mail into a folder. check all the other folders first, and you might find it in there! Probably the one above where it usually is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe.gausden Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 They sometimes hide behind one of your other folders. There is usually a small icon behind inbox or whatever. Trying clicking on them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheriff Fatman Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Click file > archive There will be a text box that tells you where it is stored (if you archive automatically), if not it should be under file > data file management. If your .pst files are getting close to 2 gig either split it or start a new one. People use .pst files as a file management system but they aren't really designed for that and can corrupt if over 2 gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
