    Outlook 2003

    I have all of my emails contained in a PST file. I had a script go wild today and overwrite all of the files in my Documents and Settings folder.

    Anyway, long story short, I've recovered everything important. My emails up to today shoud be in the PST file which was not overwritten since I had it open at the time, no? I recovered all of my Outlook settings, however, my emails are only showing up to 7/17/05 which was when I backed up all of my files. I'm missing 10 days worth of files which I think *should* be in that PST file. I also saved and restored the OST file which was last modified today, so I would think that's okay. I repaired the PST file also, but I think it's more of a missing file that is causing the problem.

    How do I get the 10 days worth of emails to display in Outlook again?

    At the risk of jinxing myself I think I fixed it, by copying the PST file and importing it and telling it to only import items that are not duplicates.

    Seems to be working okay.
