How to Show Archive Folders in the Outlook Folder List

If your archive folders are currently not visible in your Microsoft Outlook folder list, on the Outlook menu bar go to File/Data File Management and the Data File Management window will open (see thumbnail below).  Click the Add button on the Data File Management window and the New Outlook Data File window will open - if you are working in Outlook 2003, confirm that Office Outlook Personal Folders File (.pst) is selected in the list box (it should be by default) and then click the OK button (see thumbnail below).

The Create or Open Outlook Data File window will now open (see thumbnail below).  Select the archive.pst file (or whatever file you want to access) and then click the OK button.
