RE: Outlook folders lost after Easy Transfer

Hello Allan,

Windows Easy Transfer would not have overwritten the file on your new PC. In
Outlook on your new PC, you can add the new one back by clicking on File,
Open, Outlook Data file and look or the location where there are files with
the "pst"extension. Then in Outlook on the left side where the folders are
shown at the very bottom you should see a new node called 'Archived Folder".
Expand the node and you should see your email. Hope this works for you.

Cheers!
