  Answer
  when outlook archives it makes a .pst file, the folders are in that file, you
have to do a File / open / personal folders file (pst) / and find the file

  Does anyone know how I add the "Archive Folders" into my All Mail Folders
section? I have it, but my co-worker doesn't and she really needs it.

Thank you!!

File > Data File Management > ADD > Office Outlook Personal Folders File >
Click OK > Choose a name for it > click OK.

Or you can click Tools>Options>Other>AutoArchive and click the box labeled
"Show archive folder in folder list".

  Did you find out how to view the files...I can't view any files except
reoccurring calendar files?

  I am having this same problem - I want to be able to click on the Archvied
Folders in the "All Main Folders" section and be able to view previously
archived emails. Any suggestions on that would be great.

And why can't you use File>Open>Outlook Data File to open your archive PST?

Look in the Recycle bin.

BTW, This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003/2007 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general
Good luck!
