Restore them from your backup.

Easy to say, but I have no clue if there is a backup. Unless its done
automatically I doubt it exists. "Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: Restore them from your backup. -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Anyone who syncs their Outlook data should create a backup of their data
frequently because the changes a sync makes are irreversible. Users are responsible for making their own backups. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "DougM" wrote in message ...

Ah yes, well thanks for that heart warming response. I'm fully aware of the
need, but obviously it had never occured to me to do this. Might I ask where such files would exist or what there name/extension would be.

Sure. Or read the group. The information is posted every day.
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] "DougM" wrote in message ...
