I recently attempted to restore my outlook PST file from a BAK file after my PC crashed. Initially, I was told there were errors, and to run the Outlook Repair Tool, which I did. After the repair operation, I restarted Outlook and referrenced the recovered PST file. Under the Lost and Found Folder, there are a number of folders. Two problems have arisen
A) Outlook thinks my Calandar, Notes and Contacts are all email messages, and doesn't allow me to save them under the relevant Calandar/Notes/Contact folder
B) Outlook won't let me copy certain (but not all) recovered email folders

Help!
 
This means the pst-file had severe errors. Recovery is then unpredictable
and could indeed lead to the result you described. Can you restore from a
back-up you made earlier? If not; create a new pst-file and do a lot of
manual editing to restore it. Once done you can delete the original pst-file
to get rid of the stuck folders.
