Forgive me if this is too basic a question for this forum, to which I am new. Prior to reformatting my W2000 hard drive this weekend, I exported my Outlook 2000 inbox, sent items & contacts to 3 Excel 2000 files, using the Outlook Import / Export wizard. I naively figured that it would be a straightforward process of using the same wizard in reverse to restore my data. What actually happens is that the 3,000-odd inbox emails are all stored in no particular order in one untitled folder (my standard setup is to store in folders sorted by sender)and the contacts list now has a big list of names before the usual A-Z categories without any address details. The imported emails have only a few lines of text, with no sign of any attachments. I have not tried importing the Sent Items, but have deleted the non-functional imported data, which is still sitting within Excel.
Does anyone please know how I have to reformat the 3 Excel files such that they will import back into the relevant Outlook folders (eg. the Inbox emails sort themselves by sender)? Thanks, J.
