Unfortunately, Outlook is only going to open specific files. The file extension .DLL is not a format outlook regonizes for email storage.

You will need to perform the instructions to show hidden files and folders and proceed to the defaulted location outlook uses to store Archive files.

Okay, I found Outlook.pst and Archive.pst. I copied both to my "temp" folder for easier access.

Now I've got 'em, but what do I DO with them?

If I select "Open With . . ." I get a warning that it could damage my system. Indeed, I'm wondering if this might replace my NEW pst files with the OLD. Should I change the name of the file? Is there a good program for reviewing and retrieving -- and possibly moving certain messages to my new Archive folder?

I didn't see the address book, but I didn't spend a lot of time. The address book is small, and if I can retrieve my old e-mails I can construct a new address book with very little trouble.

Suggestions, where do I go from here?
