I wish to read some old E-mail that has been archived and after reading the
MS help on the subject, I am not sure how to best do this, I don't wish to
permanently restore all the previous e-mail or damage the present list.

TIA Peter S.

There are DAILY postings on all the Outlook groups why importing native
Outlook data should NOT be done.

Importing an entire PST may well corrupt your profile and may create a ghost
PST that you can't close. Importing PST's will lose:
1. Custom Forms
2. Custom Views
3. Connections between contacts and activities
4. Received dates on mail
5. Birthdays and anniversaries in calendar
6. Journal connections
7. Distribution Lists

Opening a PST file will preserve all of these. That is why we do not advise
people to import a native file into Outlook.
 
Thank you all for your assistance.

Have Opened the appropriate Data file and all is well again. At first it did
confuse me which file I needed to open (I have five .pst files) but I was
able to sort it out.

Thanks again, Peter S.
