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