Thumbs up Re: Can anyone help with restoring email from backup?

Well, my email problem is resolved, and all my emails (1,000 plus from 10 emails accounts, so not quite in your league Vasili - but I have only had this PC for 3 months!) have been restored.

Thought it might be useful to post how.

I stood and bowed towards Mecca. I turned round three times, then stood on one leg with one hand on my head whilst with the other I set off the restore from back up program once again. I then left the PC, and didn't go back into the room until it had ended. Then, knowing it wouldn't have worked, I switched it off without checking, and left it for 18 hours.

The result was, when I started up the PC, Outlook told me it was reconfiguring - and when it had completed, all emails were back!

In other words, I haven't a bloomin' clue why it worked this last time, and not on the previous attempts!

Now all I have to do is to restore my website pages, templates and photos which were on the same backup, but which have still not re-emerged. I think I'll try a rain dance next time! :)
