Retrieving data from a PST file after computer crashed
So, my computer crashed (power supply) and the piece of junk is so old - it is not worth the time to get the piece of junk fixed. I have an outlook.pst file which I believe has the list of contacts. I would like to export the data from the file and make it available for outlook or another mail app. Any recommendations? |

Two separate operations. 1. Remove the HDD from the old machine and either install it as a slave in the new or get an external casing and install it in that. (If it's big enough you can then use it for backups). 2. DO NOT USE IMPORT. AT ALL. Find the pst file (it's hidden by default - and you may need to take ownership of it). Copy to your new HDD. Do NOT overwrite any existing file - your Documents folder is the best place to copy it to. Then either open in Outlook (file-Open-Outlook Data File) and copy or drag and drop to your new pst file, or, if you have a lot of data that you want to keep, set it as the default delivery location in Control Panel-Mail-Data Files.
