How to find & recover Backed up emails & contact list?

I have backed up my Outlook email messages and contacts from Windows XP Pro to Memeo Truecyrpt but cannot locate in the backup files.  How to find and then restore them to Vista.  The backup is from XP Pro to Vista restore.  I need help!

This gives the locations by default of the OL' data files, but of course you could have placed the elseware, default named outlook.pst that contains messages & Contacts

Once found to restore them to a location of documents.

Since then, it depends on your needs, that is to say you could set OL to use the primary data file has been restored as the default mail store, or you can simply open the data within the OL file then do what you want with the data, for example, copy of your data file current

  • How to copy my files to email contact lists for transfer on my laptop after repair of the manufacturer.

    Hello

    My laptop almost 3 year, shows signs of age and I have to send it to the manufacturers to replace a keyboard and the reader of cd/dvc. I'll have to save all my pictures and documents on a portable player so I can copy them to the repairedcomputer once it is returned to me. I also have a load of saved bookmarks which I want to keep and I think that it is also possible. My biggest problem is I use Thunderbird as a filing system for all important emails and keep my email contacts list and I wish I could copy them all when I clear my computer so I can copy them on my laptop newly repaired.

    For most of you, this task is as simple as copying my photos or documents, but I get very confused with profiles etc in Mozilla. I wish it were as easy as a file, copy of emails to... but not yet. I would appreciate help on this.

    Crush the Thunderbird profile folder ends the new profile. So, you have just an old.

  • How delete/hide icons/avatars in Skype contact list?

    I remember that old versions of Skype show contacts in the list without images/icons/avatars of users. I'd rather have my friends listed in a short concise list.

    How I'm doing in this last Skype (5.5)?

    Thank you for your help and suggestions!

    P.S. If you ask 'why' I would like to do. Two reasons:

    1. freedom of choice and customization.

    2. I have a 12 "laptop to travel and it is * edition * annoying to scroll through the icons I don't need to see to know who is who in my contacts list.

    Go to tools-> Options-> General settings. It uncheck the option: "display profile pictures in a list of contacts.

  • After compaction all my emails in Outlook Express 8 I am able to receive more emails, but how can I recover lose them emails?

    original title: IE * compaction

    After compaction in OE8 I lost all emails from the Inbox since August 2010 to present.  I can now receive incoming e-mails, but is it possible to recover my lost mails?  If so, how?  Thank you.

    There is no such thing as OE8 or IE compaction, but I think that's what you ask

    Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.

    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :

    About file Corruption:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspx

    Recovery methods:

    If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.

    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.

    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.

    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.

    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.

    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.

    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:

    DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

    And see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4

    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:

    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    And backup often.

  • How can I recover my old email after you have reinstalled Windows 7?

    Under the direction of the MS Support, in order to solve a problem, I had to reinstall Windows 7. After installation, all my old email was absent. Support MS staff member told me that he was not trained to retrieve my email and sent me a link to try it on my own. I failed miserably. I managed to get a few email (Comcast) but only from the date of the re - install and none of my old stuff. In fact I managed to do it in triplicate. As you can see I'm not a computer person. Can someone help me? I need step by step instructions.

  • How can I recover accidentally deleted emails?

    is this possible?

    Depends on what mail program you use. Most have an items deleted/trash folder that keeps for several days, or until you empty the folder, and you can move them back to another folder. Once they are there, you can't get back them.

  • How to make a backup of my contacts list to gmail

    I just bought my phone last week. I am able to configure usb PC-telephone connection and see different folders, (no music folder anywhere, but that's another debate). I want to backup my contacts Gmail and found instructions to do so. Here is what happens...

    contacts > menu > more > import/export > import contacts from: SD card > create contact under account > [email protected]

    Then I get the message card SD scan has no reason "no vCard file on the card.

    When connected to PC via the USB port on the structure of the file is:

    . Android_secure

    -Android

    -data

    com.google.Android.apps.Genie.geniewidget.News - content-cache

    -com.googlle.android.apps.maps

    cache

    debugging

    TestData

    -dcim

    . MIS

    .thumbnails

    Camera

    images

    newspapers

    LOST. DIR

    videos

    First of all, aren't your contacts already in your account Gmail account or are telephone contacts?

    What you want to do is export your contacts to SD card not matter.  Once export you it to the SD card there will be a file at the root of the SD card, called "contact backups.vcf.  You can transfer this file to your desktop on your computer.  Now, log in to your Gmail account on the computer, and import this file.  I hope this helps.
