Accessing your Archive files in Outlook  - Lesson 2
Once items such as email messages are stored in your archive.pst file, they can be opened and accessed just like other items in your mailbox.  In other words, you can read, reply, forward, print, delete, move or perform any other action that you normally would to items in your Inbox.

To Open an archive file.  (You should turn on the Folder List View - from the View Menu)

What You Do What Happens
1.  From the File Menu, choose Open/Personal Folders File.

The Open Personal Folders Window appears.
2. Browse to your H: drive and locate your archive.pst file.  Select it and click OK. This will open your Archive Folders in the Outlook Folder List..  It will appear above Outlook Today. 
3. Click the + sign to expand the folder.  Archive items can now be accessed by click on the individual item.   You can leave this Archive file open or you can close it and open at a later time.

When you are ready to Archive other folders, or to archive the same folders with different dates, just repeat the steps in the Archive Lesson One.  The newly archived items will be appended to the archive.pst file and will appear in Outlook if it is opened.
