My hard drive recently started going bad but before it went out I was able to copy most of my files off of it. I had Office 2010 using an exchange server. I had backed up my emails into a local folder in Outlook so the exchange server wouldn't delete them after its retention policy. I looked at F:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
but the only large file I see is an .ost file. From the MS/Office help page it says:
Outlook Data File (.ost) The .ost file is synchronized with the items on the server that runs Exchange. Because your data remains on the Exchange server, you can re-create this .ost file on your new computer without having to back up the .ost file.
. This doesn't seem like where my emails would be kept, but I don't see any other promising large Outlook files. Can they even be imported back into Office 2013?
Your looking for a .PST file. If you don't have that file your are out of luck – Ramhound – 2013-07-11T00:18:58.170
