Default Missing files + folders after importing pst file

Thanks for your email. I tried open it, as you indicated - Should have
mentioned it in my email - but it shows again only the few emails in the
deleted file. No Inbox emails, no subfolders and no Sent files.

Do you have any other recommendations?

Thank you.

but somehow no Inbox emails and subfolders and Sent files were
imported. Only a few deleted items files. Calendars, Contacts and
Notes imported fine. After that I noticed that the original file date
has been changed, but the folder size is still 361 MB.


For that reason it is never a good idea to import pst-files. Simply open
the old pst-file instead and copy the content to the new one:

File | Open | Outlook-Datafile

I tried copying and replacing the PST file in my profile but the file
looks the same and the same as above are missing. When I check folder
size in Outlook it is small.


Copying the old pst-file over the new one is a bad idea as well.

Is there a way to recover those emails without having to buy this software?


First try to open the file as described above.
