Empty PST
I have just installed Outlook 2003 and when I go to import a pst file
that is 43 Mb it comes up as empty in Outlook. Anyone ever hear of that? and is there a solution to see the mails? dloj |

All the time. Importing is never the correct way to access or transfer
Outlook data. Just open the file in Outlook to access it. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "dloj333" wrote in message ups.com...

Then you must post accurately if you want help from a newsgroup. The burden
is still yours. How did you create this PST file and how did you manage to keep it from being populated with information? We cannot determine that. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "dloj333" wrote in message oups.com... On Jul 1, 1:46 pm, "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: All the time.

I open a .pst file on another hard drive to see what is in it and it opens as empty. It is 43 Mb in size so there is data in it. Anyone ever hear of that? and do you think there is there a solution to see the mails? |

If you open a PST, visit each folder, and see that each is empty then clearly the PST contains no data no matter what size it occupies on disk. -- Brian Tillman |

One would think that but when I run Scanpst.exe on it it says it fixes some errors. If there was no data why would it fix anything? dloj |

file when you go to Properties Folder Size... ? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "dloj333" wrote in message oups.com...
