Windows 10: How to move or copy folders from Version 2007 to Version 2010

I have a new computer with Outlook 2007 in use for years with folders containing emails from dead relatives and friends that are very important to me. Can someone guide me in how to transfer those folders containing the emails to my new computer with Outlook 2010 please. Windows 10 pro

Lost Folder in Outlook 2010

I have never had such a problem so I probably cannot help you.

I assume that the list of datafiles is correct [In Outlook 2007 this is given in several places including File, Data file management] and that you have run ScanPST on each of the pst/ost files shown there.

Are there any references to the missing file in the ScanPST log [log settings are under Options in the ScanPST UI]?

In Outlook 2007, I can set the 'navigation pane' to 'Folder list' view so that I can manually look through every open file & folder to check their contents. If you can find it this way but not when searching then it would indicate a search problem rather than a pst file problem. I have not seen this but I'd run Office diagnostics [2007] & the Windows indexing troubleshooter if I did.
- Apparently, Office diagnostics itself does not exist in Office 2010. I understand that, for Office 2010, you'd need to go to Control panel, Progs & features then right-click on the Office 2010 entry so you could select Repair.
- I have also seen a suggestion that Office diagnostics might be in your Start menu but I don't know if that was correct or not.
- The Windows indexing troubleshooter is at Settings, Updates, Troubleshoot, Search & indexing

Sorry I could not help,
Best of luck,

Installed Office Mobile 2010 but still have 2007 as default

I recently installed the free update for Office 2010 from the Marketplace. There were no errors. I was prompted to restart, which I did, but now in my programs list I have:

Excel Mobile

Excel Mobile 2010

OneNote Mobile

OneNote Mobile 2010

PowerPoint Mobile

PowerPoint Mobile 2010

SharePoint Workspace Mobile 2010

Word Mobile

Word Mobile 2010

Regardless of which version I click on, the older version opens. I am not able to access any of the 2010 applications, only the 2007 versions. The original Office is not listed in my Remove Programs. How do I correct this? Either remove the old version
or at least overwrite the original version, or change the default to the new version?

I am running Windows Mobile 6.5 on HTC Imagio.

Thanks.

 

Lost Folder in Outlook 2010

1 By 'navigation pane' I just meant the fairly narrow pane on the left-hand side of my Outlook window. It's the grey pane on the left in www.alphr.com/blogs/2009/11/19/microsoft-outlook-2010-screenshots - there should be a set of buttons at the bottom to select Folder list / Shortcuts / … Your comment "I have a folder list under the name of my pst" sounds like you have the folder list in front of you because that's how I would describe what it looks like.

2 Either in the Folder list or by looking in File, Data file management you can see which pst files you have open.

3 Perhaps you have set up auto-archiving to delete originals???? In my 2007 version this is set up in Outlook, Options, Other, AutoArchiving as well as individually for each folder in Folder list. I do not know where the settings are in Outlook 2010.

4 About "I have only run Scanpst on the pst file that shows the current date", I don't know what your other pst files are but you should be able to open each in turn to see if the missing file is in one of them. The only example I have of an older pst file is my Archive.pst file [I archive every 30 days but without deleting anything]. Every pst file that Outlook opens gets the current date-time set as its Date modified even if nothing gets written to it when it is open.

5 I mentioned search before. In Outlook 2007 search settings are in Outlook, Tools, Options, Preferences, Search options but it might have been moved in Outlook 2010. In Outlook 2016, they are in Outlook, …, Options, Search.
