E, A .pst file is a Personal Folders file. Notepad, WordPad or MS Word will not know how to decipher the information in this file. Only programs that are written to read .pst files (such as Outlook) will be able to decipher the information. I would first do a search of your hard drive to find all .pst files. From the Start menu, select Find / "Files or Folders..." and enter .pst for the "Named" value and tell it to "Look in" C: and make sure that the "Include subfolder" box is checked. Look at the list of files that it returns and see if you can figure out which might contain your archived emails. Looking at the name, size and modified date should give you an idea of which file you want. Make a note of where this file(s) is located. Then open Outlook and pull down the file menu. Select Open, then "Outlook Data File" and open the *.pst file(s) that you think might contain your archived mail. B.K.
