Outlook file types
I have a backup folder with several types of Outlook files, saved from
another installation of Outlook. They include files with the three-letter extensions: PST, OST, and OAB, as well as two other types which have two sets of three-letter extensions: .XML.OBI. and .XML.KFL. Which of these are worth saving? I know that PST are the mail and archive files, and to be saved. OST are 'offline folders', whatever that means. Are they potentially of use? What are the OAB files, and the .XML.OBI and .XML.KFL files? They're quite small. Apparently they don't have mail, so do they need to be saved? Thomas

Outlook file types
Only the pst-files are of interest to you here.
If you want to know the meaning of the other files and what they contain, take a look here; http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/filesandsettings.htm -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "Thomas Bartlett" wrote in message ...
