Thread reopened per request.



Outlook can contain many Personal Folders.

Please post the exact steps you are taking to accomplish this task.
Importing is not necessary, locate the .pst file and copy it to the hard drive of the receiving computer.
Start Outlook and open the .pst file using File > Open > Outlook Data File.

EAFedler, thanks for responding after so much time. This is what happenes:

I go to Outlook, and open "File," "Open" and then "Outlook Data File." In the Data File there is a folder and four ".pst" files: Outlook.pst, Outlook1.pst, Outlook2.pst, Outlook3.pst and Outlook4.pst. have nothing in them and Outlook.pst has no messages. I then try to copy the Outlook.pst file to my thumbdrive but get an error message. (See attachment.)
There must be an easy way to do this but I haven't found it. If you could provide me with more instructions, I would appreciate it.

Please do not paste images into word documents. Images can stand on their own.
Save the image as a .jpg file using Paint or another image editor. Then upload the .jpg file.

Copy the .pst file to the hard drive before attempting to open it with Outlook.

EAFiedler, how do I copy the .pst file to the hard drive? Thanks.

[EAFiedler]

It would be the same procedure as copying the .pst file to the removable drive.

Open the drive containing the .pst file and drag the .pst file to the destination hard drive or Right click the .pst file and select Copy, then right click the destination hard drive and select Paste.
How did the .pst file come to be on the Removable Disk (F:) ?

Is the destination drive the: COMPAQ (C:) drive?

Any results so far?

EAFiedler, it worked!!! I don't know what I was doing wrong before, but this time it worked!!! What I did was:

In Outlook:
File > Open > Outlook Data File
Browse to the location of the .pst file and select it.
The Personal Folders should then appear in Outlook.

It was so simple. I really don't know what I was doing wrong before, but thanks for all of your help. In the end, persistence (on both your and my part) paid off. Thanks again for all of your help.
