Once again, thank you for your response!
> What happens when I try?
Nothing happens. I expect a process window, but nothing appears. I check my
folders in MS Outlook and the emails are still missing. Shouldn't the archive
pst file contain the most recent archived - possibly compressed - files? And
do you have any idea why I have so many outlook pst files?
> The tab with data files has "archive" + location and 7 Personal folders - same location. Did I do this or did it happen automatically?
>We have 4 email accounts - mine being the main account and the option of up to 5 users.
>Recovery
When I attempt to access my back up files. Outlook stores everything on the
main hard drive (C:) and my back up files are placed on my computer, but
different drive (D:). I don't recall setting up the backup file location.
New computer, most software already installed. I could set them to backup to
my external drive. Hence, I do not know how to "recover" any files, yet my
user account is â??administratorâ?? and password protected..
>Which mail account?
I receive email through the local phone company (DSL) (it works much better
and is more consistent in my location - even thru T-storms, tho we power off
during storms We love the cooling breezes here, except the named ones ...
Erin, Opal, Ivan, George, Dennis, outskirt of Katrina ... ).
Could this have any effect with the issue - bad T-storms yesterday. The
local DSL company requires MS Outlook is setup from MS Outlook is setup from
Bellsouth requires: A) all lower case letters and B) account Server settings
are:
Account Type: POP3 - gray and unable to change
Incoming server: mail.bellsouth.net
Outgoing server (SMPT): mail.bellsouth.net

Again - THAN K you so much!
