Hi,

I have a PST file of about 252 MB. However, only
contacts folder is populated. all the others are
appearing empty. All was fine till Friday. I have
repaired the file and it did not find any error.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks,

M Khan
 
Rightclick the root of the folders (probably Outlook Today)-> Properties->
button Folder Size...

Is the overview showing that they contain items?

Thanks for the quick reply. All the folders size is
showing 0 KB. However, the PST folder size is about 252
MB.

Any other suggestion??

This means the file is empty. Note that the file size is irrelevant as the
filesize isn't reduced immidiately after something gets deleted out of the
pst-file. The only way to get your data back is to restore your back-up.
