Any way to restore my contacts list after a computer crash?
My computer crashed. I had to reload Outlook and, of course, all of my
contacts are gone. Are these stored in a file somewhere that may still be on my computer somewhere?

The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored. Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer: http://www.slipstick.com/config/backup.htm http://www.howto-outlook.com/Howto/backupandrestore.htm http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771141033.aspx -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Crazy Bay" Crazy wrote in message ...

The reason I ask, is because I have 3 folders that look alike, but have
different properties (Mailbox, Outlook, and Personal Folders). This doesn't look right to me. -- Regards "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ...

Then I assume you mean files. What is their file extension?
It would not be unusual for you to have created more than one set of Outlook Data Files. Each Outlook profile usually has a different file. To see which you are using, just examine the properties of your root folder in Outlook. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "rustyfender04" wrote in message ...
