I believe what DL is telling you is this:

From Outlook, click on Tools and then Account Settings. Go to the Data
Files
tab and click on Add. Browse for your PST backup file and click on OK to
add
it to Outlook.

Now, your backup PST file folders should appear in the left portion of the
Outlook window. You can then copy any/all messages from your backup
folders
to your "main" inbox.

When you are done, you can either leave the backup PST folders alone or
you
can go back to Tools - Account Settings - Data Files and remove the backup
PST entry.

It does not matter if you have Personal Folders Backup installed or not.
But
it's a good thing to regularly backup your PST file in case of file
corruption. You shold also copy it somewhere other than your PC in case
your
disk drive crashes.

Hope that helps.

Hi DL

Many thanks for your reply - as I have not used Outlook before today for
any
of my emails, please could you clarify what you mean by your responses.

What do you mean by "If necessary copy data to the default file, but you
can
leave this data file open."

What would the default file be? Please let me know - I will try your
steps
and will post back in due course as to how I get on.

Regards

Within OL, Open the data file then copy data from this to your default
data
file, close it when finished.
Or, with OL closed locate the backup, presumably named 'Outlook
backup.pst'
rename it eg old.pst, then open it within OL. If neccessary copy data
to
the
default file, but you can leave this data file open.

Hi all

Please could you let me know what would be the best method to restore
an
already backed up Oulook.pst file back into the Inbox in Outlook
2007?

In other words, how do I go about restoring my backed up emails back
into
Outlook 2007?

Does it matter if the "Personal Folders Backup" programme is
installed
or
not? - is it needed or not?

Please advise me of the best method to use.

Thanks for your help - all responses gratefully received.

Regards
