Morning, Perhaps Im explaining it in more useable terms but everything that I have written to you and Josephine is freely available, perhaps in jargon , on the Web. Regards John -----Original Message----- From: bristol_and_somerset-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:bristol_and_somerset-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of deana.smith@btinternet.com Sent: 20 October 2010 16:31 To: bristol_and_somerset@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [B&S] Josephine's dead Acorn! Hiya. Have done everything you said, have got some random e-mails back from 2007. Tomorrow I have more time and will do it again like you say and see what turns up. Short of time today but it obviously works so will keep trying. Unfortunately the e-mails are not from the family names, but retreval is obviously possible yipee. Thanks. Will let you know how I get on via your own e-mail address or may be accused of this being off - subject. Many thanks Deana. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John M" <JHWM1@btconnect.com> To: <bristol_and_somerset@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 2:44 PM Subject: Re: [B&S] Josephine's dead Acorn! > Afternoon Deena > Once you've located a pst file (and you may also find them in eg > 'windowsold' folder, then open outlook express and on the file tab at the > top left of the screen click 'import export', select import from another > program or file, next, personal folder .pst, next, then in the file name > box > click browse to the left until you select the address that you found your > .pst folder in. > Then, next, and you should in a min see the old e mails being reloaded > into > outlook express etc. > > If it's too jam packed then on the top file menu select archive and set > the > date to the most recent date you want to keep current and then let it > archive.
