Outlook PST file / error /

Just used the export feature of MS Outlook 2016 to backup my emails.




  1. Created a PST file and dragged items into the data file.

  2. The file has a nice size (+120 MB).

  3. I closed down MS Outlook and re-started it and opened the archive.


It indicates that I have data (e.g. ### items unread), but it won't display any message.



Older archives I made in a similar way appear to behave as I expected.



What might be the problem?



Portion of folder tree indicating I opened archive named 'E-mail 2017'

  • Maybe try to open the .pst with thunderbird or some other email client. That'll at least tell you if the .PST is working.

  • Good idea. Will check... Didn't know that T-bird accepts PST.
