Gentlemen: After a recent hard drive crash (the windows SAM file (its where the users and passwords are stored) was broken and this provoked a new computer.....Ect) I recovered the outlook .PST files that had loads of important emails ect stored within them. Added them to outlook but the don't open properly all folders show as empty !!! The file is about 400M and it the last 3 years email history (the important stuff anyway) Does anybody know how to recover the info from these files????.
