    Try restoring only your .pst files. From KB944171:
    To restore specific types of files, follow these steps:
    1. Click Restore files by file type.
    2. Click to select the check boxes next to the types of files that you want to restore, and then click Next.
    3. Click to select the check boxes next to the files that you want to restore, and then click Next

    Create a folder on your Desktop and use that folder as a restore location.  Then use the Import feature in Outlook to import the .pst files.

    If you are unable to complete the restore of your e-mail files you can contact support for help. How to reach support - http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/onecareinstallandactivate/thread/30400b52-7f26-4ba0-bc18-17e305329d90
