Vista - Searching PST files

08-29-2007

Hi,
I just upgraded to Vista and Outlook 2007. I'm not sure if this is an
Outlook question or for Vista Search.

I've been creating pst files for each year keeping my email for the year in
a pst and my current pst file remains under 2gB. So I have several years
worth of email in about five archived files and want to be able to search
these files. When using the search feature in Vista, it never seems to
locate any of the messages in the pst files.

After searching the internet I can't seem to find an answer. Any ideas?

Regards-Michael G.

Hi Michael,

I work in the same exact way and have my emails archived into different
PST's by year.

Did you ever find a solution to your problem?

Thanks,
David
