To see the FOLDER LIST on the left in the Navigation Pain you click it at
the bottom of the Navigation Pain. There are lots of little buttons in the
bottom left corner of Outlook, one of those looks like a Folder.

Thank you very much for posting the reply to my question.

I followed your suggestion and went over to the Deleted items IN THE
ARCHIVES area but there, I only saw deleted mail items because the tree on
the left only shows up when I'm using the "Mail" button on the bottom
left.
When I use the "Calender", the tree disappears and I only see a month by
month calendar (like a wall calendar where it says January, February.).

I re-read your post and I do not quite understand what you meant by ".use
the Folder List view of the Navigation Pain and you should see all folders
and the hierarchical structure of them." I don't know how to get to
the
"Folder List view" even though I've attempted to go to the "View" at the
top
next to File and Edit.

I suspect that should I have the "know how" to follow exactly what you
asked
me to do, I would be able to accomplish the desired task of "reinstating"
the
currently lost archive calendar.

I look forward to hearing from you regarding how I might be able to
complete
this.

MANY thanks for your kind and expert guidance. Without experts like
yourself, many of us would be difficult situations!

Best,

Drag it from the Deleted Items folder to the Archve folder and it will be
fine.

I have been a long time user of Outlook and have been using this 2007
version
since around February of this year. Several days ago, the rectangular
"buttons" on the left side below the tree (Mail, Calender, Contacts)
sort
of
stopped working in that when I select Calender and go back to Mail, the
main
right hand preview panel continues to display the calender and the item
"Calender" in the tree on the left is highlighted - only when I use the
mouse
to click on "Inbox" at the tree, would I be able to view my Mail items.
I
have no idea what that was the case and, while trying to "fix" it, I
had
inadvertently gone way down on the tree to the Archive Folder section,
right
clicked on the Archive Calender, and deleted it from the pop up menu
when
I
right clicked on Archive Calender.

Outlook is ESSENTIAL for me. Everything I do is on it to keep me on
track.
The Calender is important for me as it is almost a diary for me to
remember
what I did years ago - quite effective for me. May I kindly as the good
folks
here how I might be able to retrieve my Archive Calender? The item on
the
tree (under Archive Folders) called Archive Calender is no longer
there.
I'm
quite distressed that I no longer have access to my calender past
around 6
months ago.

As a related question, I'd like to ask how best to back up my Outlook
(everything, including Calender, Mail, Contacts)? I do use Acronis to
do
automatic back up but whenever i look at those Acronis "automatic back
up"
files for Outlook, they do not look familiar (they have names like
2007_11_10..._.TIB). I do not know what ".TIB" files are and how to
really
"use them" to either open up or to view. When I had my Archive Calender
still
visible on the tree, it was pretty easy whenever I needed to view older
items: merely click on the words Archive Calender on the tree, then the
right
hand side's Preview area would show the older items, sometimes in a
different
shade of color to differentiate from the "regular" current calender. I
can
look for whatever event or appointment, then close it and go about my
daily
business.

Sorry for combining 2 different issues in one post, but they are quite
inter-related. (Accidentally deleting Archive Calender - how to
retreive
it?
And, how to effectively back up Outlook 2007 - everything, from
Calender,
to
Contacts, and Mail).
