OUTLOOK 2007 BETA - DUDE! Where's My Emails!

[Harper]

Last week I did a format and re-install of my main computer. I am currently using Outlook 2007 Beta.

I did the normal export to a PST file. However when I restored, the only thing that i can see it my Message Headers. I open up an email or reply to an email, the message body is no longer there.

I have also noticed that new email are being downloaded, but again, only the header is being visable. No message body.

Any one else have this problem?
Any way that I can get my old message bodies back?
More importantly, is there any way that i can get my new message bodies to show?

have you tried your pst's on a different pc just to make sure they are no corrupted? You will need to use the original since they arent backwards compatiable...atleast they arent in the older versions

I am going to try that. Otherwise if I messed up my email, oh well, at least i got a back up of my contact on my PDA.

Okay, I just removed 2k7 and replaced with 2k3.
Imported my email back and every thing is there.

Since my emails are rather important to me, I think I might just wait until the working version of Outlook 2007 comes avalable before I install that again.

Hence the "Beta" after "Office 2007". Beta software is for testing only and should not be used in a business enviornment where everything is important.

Exactly.
