Default outlook 2002/2003 folders

tried to open email folder and it said i could not open folder. it told me to
close all mail related items. when i restarted it said could not save
outlook.pst file. folders not available. how can i get this back and how can
i make a backup and prevent it from happening again. finding anything on
microsoft is like finding a needle at the bottom of 40,000 haystacks.

Without knowing exactly what you did and exactly what the messages said, I
don't know how to speculate what went wrong. However, here's a reference
for how to create a backup:

Thank you for the info it is a great help. The scare of my own advice came
back to haunt me. I'm a technician and usually make sure to back up and got
caught with pants down. fortunatel for me i had the most unusual experience
of outlook eventually fixing itself and restoring without the loss of a
single email.
