Default Moved e-mail from outlook folders - e-mail will not open

Outlook 2002 xp machine. I had 880mg of e-mail in my outlook folders. I
moved the e-mails from their respective folders to a removeable harddrive.
Now, the emails will not oopen I recieve no error message. Outlook will
start to open, but then promptly closes. When I moved the e-mails I
highlighted them and drag and droppped them and did not use the import-export
command in outlook.
I hope their is a solution for my goof up.
Thank you

Clarify what you did. You would never drag and drop individual messages for
this purpose, especially to a read different drive. You would move them into
another Outlook data file.
Do you back up your data files?
What does this have to do with contacts?
