Password? I put a password on it? ... well, don't remember putting it there but I guess I did... and whatever it was, it wasn't one of my usual ones... I've tried them all. Geez, how did I end up on this forum, it wasn't where I thought I was.
OK, not much works but I was able to do this. Backup each folder separately to a csv file. Uninstall Outlook (Office 2007), reinstall Office 2007 and using an older un-password protected pst file, restore Outlook email, then painstakingly import
the more recent email folders one at a time from the .CSV files.
Probably not something you can do if you aren't genuine, eh? Ok, now it fits in the forum.
