How can I restore Outlook 2007 from a PST file without having to import everything?
- by schnapple
I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and went the "format from scratch" route.
I backed up my C:\ drive to the free space on my D:\ drive.
So now I have Outlook 2007 reinstalled and I have my .pst files and so forth from the previous installation.
If memory serves the answer on getting all those emails back into Outlook again is "create a new .pst file for the account and then reimport everything".
What I'd like to do is be able to just put the .pst file where it's supposed to go and then have Outlook 2007 just "remember" everything. But I'm pretty sure this doesn't work.
Is there a way to restore Outlook from a pst file without having to re-import everything?
