Hi hope some help is available form those who know things
I recently had to format my HDD I backed up my emails using the Export extension in Outlook 2010 to another drive creating a data.pst file. Before I did this I saved all my open inbox incoming and sent emails into folders so that they too would be backed up, having experienced before that the Outlook programme does not back up open messages only those in folders. When I restored the backup using the Outlook import a pst file unfortunately it did not contain any of my sent messages from my data.
I have contacted my hosting company to see if they could help as the inbound messages are retained on their server. Using Squirrel webmail I uncovered most of my inbound messages but no sent messages.
The hosting company have now sent me an email as below:
"Hi David,
I understand you are trying to get your data out of Microsoft Outlook. I must admit that I am not very familiar wiut the new versions of Outlook, but you should be able to select all of your sent messages at once from their mailbox and then use the forward function to send them all back to yourself. Once sent, you can then log into your mail account with an IMAP email client and filter them into a new folder/archive."
Unfortunately, those that know me, is like speaking chinese to me.
My query is how do I access the Outlook Mailbox to try to recapture the sent messages and then how do I carry out the second part of the message.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
regards
