Import emails into Outlook 2003
Due to a problem, I had to reinstall Windows XP Home and, in the process,
lost Outlook 2003 (and other things!). After reinstalling Outlook, I then wanted to restore all my mailbox emails and address book from the archive. I found this in D:\My Documents\Personal Folders and set Outlook up to import this. However, when I tried, I got an error message: YOU DON'T HAVE APPROPRIATE PERMISSION TO PERFORM THIS OPERATION. I was advised to try: CTL PAN-INTERNET OPTIONS-PROGRAMS TAB-RESET WEB SETTINGS which I did, but it didn't make any difference. I also tried: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308421 which, unfortunately, didn't help. I've never met this problem with Windows before (only Linux!). Can anyone please help me to retrieve my emails, etc? Thanks old codger |
Import emails into Outlook 2003
You should never import Outlook data. Just find and open your Outlook data
file. The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.
