My Microsoft Outlook 2007 .pst File Contains No Emails?

[PapaLex606]

Hi everyone, I recently saved a backup of my emails in the form of a .pst on Outlook 2007 as i was in the process of nuking the hard drive for a fresh install. Having done that, i've spent the last few hours installing programs. I've just finished with outlook and now im trying to recover the emails i backed up in the .pst file. The only problem is when i try to choose the .pst file, it opens and i can see it along the left hand side under (archive folders) but there are no emails at all. I can even see all the folder names i had but each folder contains nothing. I dont recieve an error message or anything so it may be something im doing wrong, any ideas?

I tried using File, Import & Export Wizard, Import fron another program or file, personal folder file (.pst), X:\New Folder (5)\archive080609.pst and finish.

thanks

Looks like you did the old copy and paste backup and not the required new export wizard .

You only backed up part of the data this way.

Lately I worked wih my mails and accidentally I deleted all my mails.Fortunately myself helped next tool-pst recovery utility download,which is free as is known.Moreover utility can both can process PST and OST files and extract all critical data.
