| 855134 | 2010-02-04 03:02:00 | I just opened MS Outlook to refer to a message in a particular folder. The folder has gone. I can only assume that I have deleted it in error.$#^&^(*(&_(!!!! I do pretty regular back ups to an external HDD. Is it possible to find in the backup just the file that I have lost? Or do I have to back up all of outlook? What will happen to files that have been added to since I made the backup? :badpc: Cheers Rob |

| 855135 | 2010-02-04 03:33:00 | Do you specifically backup the OE .dbx files? If so, copy that particular folder back in. If it is a subfolder of a main one and you only have the main one, yes it will overwrite I'm pretty sure thus loosing the new mails. |

| 855136 | 2010-02-04 04:33:00 | If it is Outlook (not OE) you can just open the backed up .pst file (File -> Open -> PST file) (you MAY need to rename it first) and copy the folder over. | fred_fish (15241) | ||
